Chapter One: The Birth of The Idea â&#x20AC;&#x153;Folklore, myth and legend, the glue that holds the disparate tribes of these islands together, the narratives that pre-date written history, that try to make sense of the world at the same time as hinting at the other, at places and things that reside beyond the veil of night.â&#x20AC;? -David Barnett

My idea for thesis came about after a project I created in Graphic Design 3, in third year. My professor was Keith Rushton. Under his tutelage we were given a word to create our project from. Mine was catalyze. I tried to think about catalysts, and that started me thinking about what the catalyst to urban legends was. Kind of a stretch, I know, but Keith allowed it. My final product ended up being informational cards with a fairy tale character on one side and the catalyst to the creation of each story on the other. For example, Hansel and Gretel was a warning tale about the consequences

of selfish and unrighteous behavior. In the middle ages, there was a great famine, where the elderly and sick were left behind, or even actually left in the woods. Their families couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to keep feeding them and carrying their weight. This idea of the darker side of fairy tales stuck with me. What real events were happening that were only hinted at in the tales; I decided I wanted to explore further that darkness and the lessons it can teach us. Keith encouraged me to use this interest for my thesis. So that is how I decided on folklore and the Gothic for my thesis.

Hansel and Gretel is a fairytale recorded by the Grimm brothers, prolific German authors. Though the Grimm brothers published this tale, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said to have existed long before them. One theory is that the fable originates from the medieval ages during the Great Famine. Many families abandoned their children as there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough food to go around, possibly the idea behind the tale. The story goes that two children are left motherless, so the father re-marries. The woman is selfish and wants more food for herself so she leads the children into the woods, abandoning them there. They then find a cottage made of sweets and are tricked into coming inside. The children realize that a witch lives in this cottage and when she tries to cook the children and eat them, they shove her into the stove. The siblings escape and go back home, where they find that their step-mother has mysteriously died. The father is incredibly happy to see his children and they live happily ever after.

Chapter One: My Working Thesis Topic “A famous attempt to explain this phenomenon—Walter Anderson’s law of self-correction (399–406)—assumes that there is somehow a benchmark for correctness. But, in fact, we do not find such benchmarks in oral traditions (I discuss this matter in “Tradition,” 43). Folktales transform each other endlessly, none being more “correct” than the rest. Hence, explaining the remarkable stability of stories in the midst of continually shifting details requires a different approach.” -Francisco Vaz daSilva

My thesis topic, as I first wrote it down for an email to Lewis back in May was as follows: I have decided to focus on fairy tales and folklore, delving deeper into the reasoning behind these stories and how they have changed our society over the last few hundred years. This as well as giving the viewer a better understanding of these tales and the importance of the culture behind it. I am mainly focusing on Germanic tales but I also want to look into British, Irish, mainly those from the Western world. My original idea in its infancy was to get the public’s

eye back on these tales that are so rich with culture and mystique. In my second attempt to write my idea down for the in-class presentation it was a little more clear: Fairy tales are an amalgamation of culture, history, morals, and art in compact tales told to children. These tales were entertainment for many for hundreds of years. All new media can draw connections back to those tales, comic books, Lord of the Rings, Stranger Things, video games, etc. I think it is so important to keep this part of our past relevant;

it allows us to fully appreciate culture of today by looking back to where it began. Just because the elements of these stories are not relevant to today, does not mean their messages are not. This is a bit more of a personal statement, mixed in with history. But again it is vague. I have fought with vagueness all semester long, and still find myself fighting against it. That was my last attempt to write my thesis idea down in concrete terms. So I will try this again...My current idea for Workshop is to retell these fairy tales that were so important to me in a way that feels true to their original form,

but still brings something new and contemporary for a current audience to relate to. I want to re-create the feeling I had when reading Coraline by renown author Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Dave Mckean. The story followed the pattern of the heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey, but in a contemporary setting. There were still witches, dead children, devious tricks and magical trials. But now it took place in current day, with a young girl feeling alone after moving to a new house, leaving behind her life. The story combined with the haunting illustrations done in pen and ink, (reminiscent of the Golden Age of

childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illustration) created a Gothic atmosphere that had me nostalgic for the Grimm Brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Snow White. This is something I want to re-create in my own renditions of the tales and in my illustrations. The current folktales I am looking at re-telling are Little Red Riding Hood, by Charles Perrault, Sleeping Beauty, by Giambattista Basile, and The Wild Swans, by Hans Christian Andersen. I will also look at creating a small book of stories of my own as a side project to the three re-tellings. But I think I got a little side-tracked. I want to still tell

these tales in the time periods that created them. I want to create the next variant in the chain. I feel that I can bring a young womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective into these stories that are usually so malecentric. I grew up surrounded by woods and farmlands and know how animals behave and how life is in a rural area. I have been in dangerous situations and know what that kick of adrenaline feels like. I want to bring things I have experienced in my life into these stories. I feel that I can add a new energy and attention to the genre, which makes it a worthwhile endeavor.

Chapter Two: The Start of Research “It is true that the Grimm tales are ideologically associated with a romantic notion about some distant Indo-Germanic mythology, as well as with the idea that they preserved the true essence of the German national heritage, whereas Andersen’s tales were the product of his own imagination. In these respects there is no doubt that the German and the Danish stories, are indeed, worlds apart.” -Cay Dollerup

This illustration of Lorelei was one I completed in July, 2019.

The Tale of Lorelei Lorelei is a German urban legend of sorts. It takes pace at a mountain (more of a very large rock-face) at the base of the Rhine River, in the area of Sankt Goarshausen, Germany. The rock-face is said to let out an echo-like sound. The sound is compared to the cry of the beautiful woman who is said to have thrown herself off the edge into the depths below over a unfaithful lover. Her voice has been compared to a siren, luring sailors to smash into the rock. The tale has been written about by many but mostly known by the author Clemens Brentano and in a poem I have shown below, by esteemed poet Heinrich Heine (Britannica, The Editors Britannica).

Die Lorelei by Heinrich Heine Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten Daß ich so traurig bin; Ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.

I do not know the reason why To sorrow I’m inclined. A story from the olden days Is preying on my mind.

Die Luft ist kühl und es dunkelt, Und ruhig fließt der Rhein; Der Gipfel des Berges funkelt Im Abendsonnenschein.

Light’s fading and the air is cool And quiet flows the Rhine, The mountain top’s still glowing As the sun’s last rays decline.

Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet Dort oben wunderbar, Ihr goldnes Geschmeide blitzet, Sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar.

Seated up there, gorgeous, A maid beyond compare, Her golden jewelery glitters, She combs her golden hair.

Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme Und singt ein Lied dabei, Das hat eine wundersame, Gewaltige Melodei.

She combs it with a golden comb And sings a song betimes, A song with a strange melody, With strange and powerful rhymes.

Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe Ergreift es mit wildem Weh, Er schaut nicht die Felsenrisse, Er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh.

The boatman in his little boat, Gripped by a savage love, Does not see the rocky reef, Sees only what’s above.

Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen Am Ende Schiffer und Kahn. Und das hat mit ihrem Singen Die Lorelei getan.

I think the waves consumed them, Boat and boatman, bye and bye. And that’s what, with her singing, Was done by Lorelei. English Translation by Signum Classics

The Moirai (The Fates) The Fates are Greek deities who are incarnations of the string of destiny. They are depicted as three woman usually as one young, one middle- aged, and one elderly, as to depict that phases of one’s life. Their names are Clotho meaning spinner, Lachesis meaning allotter and Atropos meaning the unturnable. The three control the “mother thread of life” choosing how long it is and when to cut it for everything on earth. Moira means a “part of a whole” and is related to moros meaning “fate” (Wikipedia, Moirai). I chose to draw them in more traditionally Greek robes, though not in white (I took an artistic liberty there). As well as including imagery of the moon and stars, as they are compared to the three phases of the moon and use it in their imagery on occasion.

This illustration of The Three Fates was one I completed in August, 2019.

This illustration of Lorelei was one I completed in September, 2019.

Joan of Arc Joan of Arc is a girl said to have been chosen by God to lead France to victory in its long war with England. She is also known by the moniker the “Maid of Orleans,” and is an important saint for the French as a symbol of unity and nationalism (History.com Editors). The young woman took action and somehow convinced Prince Charles of Valois to let her lead the army into the battle over the city of Orleans. Even with this momentous victory, she was taken by the Anglo-Burgundian forces and tried for witchcraft. She was murdered at the age of 19 by being burned at the stake 1431 (History.com Editors). Joan of Arc’s story has always stuck with me. Even though she did so much good, those who didn’t accept her chose to get rid of her rather than try and understand her. She was used in the end as a political tool. It is told that she defied the order to dress like a woman and still chose to dress like a man, making a man angry. This leading to her final death sentence. Someone with this much courage, especially a young woman, becoming the patron saint of France is amazing (History.com Editors).

Chapter Three: The Start of Creation “This is not really surprising, because roses and other flowers are a widespread metaphor for feminine blood—a metaphor we use when we call the first sexual act a deflowering. Seemingly, the rationale for this quite widespread metaphor is that the appearance of blood foreshadows procreation, just as in plants the flower precedes the fruit.” -Vaz da Silva (Archeology, 63–65)

It was the first thing I wrote in a long time so it was pretty awkward, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I started. I then started re-writing Little Red Riding Hood, I think I thought about four or five different ideas. I first started writing it through the eyes of a teenage girl, written in more of a conversational style, but realized I wanted to tell the tale more simplistically, like in a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book. The story I started writing was fun but because it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit my illustration I needed to re-think my current tactics.

I am not a funny person, so I thought what angle I could choose and use to my advantage. I enjoyed gore and horror stories.

What would a young man do if he had fallen into a deep river in the middle of winter, hearing a howl in the distance? What would an old woman do if her purse

35 This story comes from a small kingdom on the coast,

The boys who were more raven than boy. This story comes from a small kingdom on the coast, plentiful in harvest and beauty. Their king and queen reigned happily together with seven sons, each son blessed with a trait any parent would be proud of. The oldest was charming, the second son was brave, the third son strong, the fourth son loyal, the fifth son curious, the sixth son serious. And lastly the seventh son, kind. No expense was spared raising these boys, no back of hand ever shown to them. They drank from silver goblets and wore only the finest silks. They were sheltered from the world, kept to their private studies, each with their own private tutor. When the queen birthed her first son, she fired all the women in the castle, scared that raising her son around women would weave impurity into his mind. She became overprotective of her sons, sheltering them to a detrimental degree. The only interaction with women the brothers had was with their mother, who doted on them endlessly. This bred a secret desire in these boys to see a woman. To smell her scent and touch her skin. A woman was a mythical creature in their minds, something they wouldn’t see until their wedding day. The oldest of the brothers was sick with the thought of it, could think of nothing else when he closed his eyes. His only release was hunting, the pure adrenaline of a kill, his hands soaking in his prey’s blood. Desire and death had become one in his mind. Though the first born now held a blackened heart, his gift of charm kept this hidden from his brothers and mother, that is, all but the youngest. The other five boys followed his every word, without question. None was born with wisdom or kindness and could see nothing wrong with the actions of the oldest. The youngest, on the other hand, had noticed something odd about how his brother’s eye sparkled only while witnessing death. Never interested in things within the castle walls, always wanting to get out. This is why even though the youngest was old enough to go hunting, he would always feign illness, scared to see his brother’s glee of the hunt. The oldest had started growing suspicious of his youngest brother. He wondered, why did the child avoid him? Did he think he was better because he did not hunt, did he think him cruel for swinging the pheasants by their broken necks? This had to changed, and one bright morning the oldest brother stormed into the youngest’s room.

The way through the woods. The woods were dark and dank. The rain had drenched everything in sight, humidity radiated from the ground. My feet sunk into the trail, each step a trial between the mud and me. This wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the idyllic forest full of flowering oaks and willows, berry bushes in abundance and chirping birds on the branches. This forest was pine, all sap and pointed needles. No birds could be heard under the pounding of water down on my head. Of course this is where that women would live. Of course she would choose somewhere this miserable to live out her final days. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the end of the trail, even after flicking back my knotted hair, the trees were too dense and the sun had started setting. My mother had grown up surrounded by nature, she told me stories of a childhood full of running through tall grass and eating ripe berries straight off of the branch. I think there must have been something in those berries, because she says this connection to nature allowed her to see things others couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. She tells me she saw the spirits of the forest, could feel the energy radiating from them. Her family had moved around, from state to state, anywhere the wildlife restoration community needed them. My mother became a walking encyclopedia. Each area a new forest, a new ecosystem, for her to embody. She says that each forest has its own entity, as well as a being that grows and dies with it. This always sounded like fairy tales to me, but I would still ask her to tell me stories of her encounters. She met flighty tree nymphs who weaved crowns of forget-me-nots in her hair. She met Selkies who would rise up out the depths of bogs and offer her rides down to the water bed. She met wolfmen who let her pet their fur and use their bellies for warmth. It seemed that every place she visited had kind and accepting residents who opened their arms to this small human child without question.

The girl never meant to be born. Clouds covered the sky the day of her birth. The villagers were told to prepare for mourning, to paint their doors black. The queen decorated her room in black crepe and silk. It was said that the birds did not even sing their welcome to her as she entered the world. The only person wearing any colour was the king, dressed in his finest golden robes. He could be seen beaming, his fingers thrumming restlessly against his knee as he sat and waited. The queen screamed in agony as her daughter was born, her blood turning the white sheets red. The king jumped up smiling ear to ear. At the same moment, her precious sons were secreted out of the castle. This was a daughter not even her mother wanted born.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Folklore hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really been given a current contemporary identity, and as designers we have a huge opportunity to do so and bring these stories and images into the current day.â&#x20AC;? -From my notes, September 2019 42

Little Red By Tess Dunn 56

Little red walked through a break in the thicket. Her eyes shined as she saw the wealth of berries surrounding her. Her mother would be so happy if she brought home the wealth of berries, she may even bake her a pie! She had heard that these berries had a variety of uses, for health and beauty. Her mother told her that a witch had blessed these very berry bushes. 57

Little red had never met a creature like a witch, and decided it was just superstition. The berries hung heavy on the boughs, shiny, ripe, and red. They were almost salacious in the way they sat so plump and felt so ready to be picked. She wandered closer, eying the moon behind her, almost too full to be true.

She grasped a branch in her hand, running he fingers down pulling off the berries in quick pulls.

As she busily collected the fruit, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice the wolf behind her. He looked her up and down greedily. Eying the space between her socks and skirt like undiscovered land. He crept closer, on his haunches, low to the ground. Little Red obliviously plucked the berries, popping one into her mouth. She savoured the taste as she felt a rough hand run up her thigh.

She shivered and jerked her leg out of grasp. She turned towards him and gasped in surprise. A wolf! A real-live wolf standing there! She gave him a once over. She couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe her eyes! She blinked to clear them. A wolf standing on his hind legs, wearing a jagged dinner jacket that hid nothing of his wolfish features.

His hands were held tightly behind his back. She stared him down, and he did the same.

She didn’t know what to say, her thigh still tingled from the unwanted touch. “Do you need something, sir?” she stated. The wolf took a step forward, tongue sliding over his dagger-like teeth. She waited a beat, he gave no response. She started to sweat, she tightened her grip on her berry basket. 61

He smiled. “Sorry dear, just curious as to what you were doing here. Alone,” he drawled. She laughed nervously, flattening out her skirts. Should she answer the wolf’s question? She thought first she would ask one of her own.

“So…what are you holding behind your back?” She questioned, leaning to the side trying to see what he was holding, avoiding his question.

“Nothing my dear just collecting my thoughts,” he answered. Her shoe scuffed over the dirt and leaves as she thought this over. “What thoughts could be behind your back?” she questioned. He took another step forward. His grin widening. He swept a hand through his matted fur. 63

“The ones to capture you with my dear,” he said. She stepped back quickly, causing a twig to snap in two. The sound startled a crow overhead, his caw echoed in the woods. The wolf’s eyes glinted at the sound, he slowly pulled a knife out from his pocket. Little Red gasped, turned, and started running. She ran through the woods. 64

Her breaths came quickly as she felt his presence behind her.

She picked up the pace. Berries flew from her basket, leaving a trail of red behind her. She thought to herself how happy she was that it was just berries leaving a red trail. She kept running, faster towards what she thought was a light in the distance. The wolf walked behind her with long, leisurely strides. His legs arching over the ground.

She searched around her, looking for a way out. The crow kept pace with the two, swooping down for berries and cawing merrily. Her nerves climbed, there seemed no end in sight. Then. Finally! She saw a break in the woods! She followed a path towards an old wooden cabin. The windows were bright with warm light. 66

She ran to the door, throwing it open and slamming

it behind her. She locked the deadbolt in place and breathed out a sigh of relief. The house was silent. Then she heard the wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavy breathing. His ragged breaths seemed to fill the air. She ran down the hall, searching for a room with a lock. She spotted a faint light shining from under the door at the end of the hall. 67

She threw open the door, surprised to see an elderly woman sitting in bed. The old woman was reading a thick novel, propped up by frilled pink pillows. “What is wrong child for you to come into my house this late at night?” said the old woman. “A wolf! A wolf chased me through the woods,” Little Red cried.

The old women put her book down and beckoned the girl over.

“Oh dear! Come hide behind me child, he wouldn’t hurt a frail old woman,” she said. The sound of breaking wood echoed into the room. Little Red jumped into the bed, pulling the covers over her head. The wolf’s heavy footsteps made the old floorboards creek and groan. “You cannot hide from me my dear, the night has just begun,” the wolf’s voice carried through the heavy wooden door.

The door to the bedroom started to creak open. Just as Little Red thought they were done for, the oldwomen patted her head. “Don’t you worry child, a lady who lives on her own is prepared for these things.” The old women reached under her mattress and pulled out a rusted fire poker. As he entered the room, the old women tightened her grip on the poker and readied her aim.

“Well, well, little girl, come out while I am still in a forgiving mood,” the wolf said as the opened the door wide.
