I grew up in the 90s, which meant the era of children’s books illustrations having quite a lot of detail and movement (think Winnie the Witch and Murgatroyd’s Garden), and necessitating the use of a sticky little finger to help guide the eyes across a page. That experience of reading has continued through my adolescence and adulthood in my exploration of alternative comics. I’ve loved experiencing the page as a map, as something to be wandered across. I want there to be some remnant of that experience in my own work – a moment of reveal or release in the turn of a page, a feeling of being ushered across a spread.
