'Inspired by familiar archetypes from classical mythology and folklore, this body of Riso printed work explores how those creatures and characters might take root in other forms within the ghost stories and storytelling traditions of the Blue Ridge Mountains. What if the Green Man of British folklore or Hecate of Greek mythology had found their way into the overgrown woods of southern Appalachia? Could the spirits who haunt the creeks and hollows be echoes of old gods and monsters? This is a playful exploration of stories heard growing up around the mountains of North Carolina, and how classic stories help shape our understanding of the world with a bit more wonder.’
