A genuine family favourite of mine as I remember watching the 1983 film with my brothers way back as kids one night before Christmas and the book didn’t prepare me for what was to come, genuinely terrifying and real, no silly effects or big actors, just images that still make me go cold to this day. It was the power of the figure on the marshes that was the most gripping, the sense of isolation and truly being haunted by someone with so much subtle anger. I own one of the original video cassettes of the film and have made countless friends sit down and watch it in the pitch black, patio doors open and all, it was the first film that my partner and I watched together, obsessed? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI’ve also been lucky enough to watch the play adaptation at the Fortune Theatre twice and absolutely loved everything about the venue and the play so the chance to create my own interpretation and tell my story is incredible. The intention has always been to create a scene that was beautiful, serene and calm yet that showed details that pulled on the heart strings, that were full of sorrow and sadness and that would make you think a little deeper. I wanted to compose a piece that did just the same as the original did, to inject a small detail that turned the image on it’s head, that detail being the unforgettable silhouetted figure of Jennet Drablow dressed in her funeral attire. The thought of creating something dramatic and over the top didn’t interest me, it just wouldn’t be right for this subject. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is one point where on the marshes Arthur Kipp knows that something terrifying is there and spins to reveal the silhouette, I wanted to create that factor where you are focused on the beautiful detail, you know something is there but try to avoid looking because you desperately don’t want to see her. The impact that Jennet had on all those who saw her was brutal and most often terminal but it is another case of not being born bad, it shows what we assume to be a normal woman who’s life is turned upside down through bearing a child out of wedlock and then losing him twice. We see hatred born towards her sister Alice who took her son from her and who couldn’t save him from the sinking mud and rising tide of the Nine Lives Causeway committing Jennet to a world of hatred and inflicted insanity. Is blood truly thicker than water? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt really is a story of the unforgiven - Jennet for having a child out of wedlock and Alice for being blamed for taking her son and not saving him. Details within the scene show the relationship between Jennet and her son, Nathaniel, an ageing teddy, a wooden train (links to how Arthur travelled to Criffin Gifford), poignant images that showed so much more before she faded to black. As with so much of my work I have created the piece to leave a lot to interpretation rather than dictating, you might look at it and think that you are looking at the point in time within the original narrative however if you look a little deeper you will notice the ruined Eel Marsh House, a broken rocking chair (I had to do that as that damned thing terrified me!) that suggest that time has moved by and the shifting tides have withdrawn to reveal objects previously hidden. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYet Jennet remains, destined to stand there alone. It is such a terrifying story line, how could it not be when children are lost in horrific circumstances throughout, yet personally the subsequent remakes of the film seem to make it hard to find any apathy towards the woman in black because of how hyped up every detail was. My hope is that I manage to make people think, to consider the events that took a woman, a mother and made a monster. \"They have asked for my story. I have told it.

The aim was to create a really striking, colourful and ultimately beautiful landscape that resonates the sense of hope that those who seek it out cling to. A magical landscape full of extremes, beautiful poppy fields, mountains and waterfalls where the warm tones of central sun shines brightly and directly onto the brick road, look closely and you will realise that the yellow is coming from the sun that guides and warms you but the bricks are nothing other than ordinary. Is it a case of blinded by the lights? Fools gold? One poignant detail within the serenity of the sky above the Emerald City is a hot air balloon, surely the Wizard isn’t in there and bailing out? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece epitomises the contrast and proximity of darkness and light, literally split into two. The road takes many a twist and turn and this particular point sees it framed and flanked by the darkness of the forest where any fears that you might be carrying come to life in the darkened light of the tall trees that are pinned together by a giant spiders web. In line with my Storyteller pieces the characters are not directly shown, instead you can picture these depending on with how you interpret the piece. However the key characters who walk the road are all referenced within the forest some might be a little harder to spot but for those who know how my mind works should find it easier! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat I have strived to create is a piece that on first glance looks beautiful and cute but on a closer inspection you notice that there are darker elements that sit within the shadows, even things that are deemed as positive and beautiful appear to be leaving a trail of darkness in their wake. This is done to convey the obstacles and hindrances that those who set off on their journey for fulfilment and salvation will meet, some blatant dangers, others much more cunning and disguised and ultimately more dangerous. What I personally feel is so lovely is that amongst all of the obstacles and distractions is Toto the dog, sitting there looking right at you and just waiting for you to continue onwards, unwavering loyalty and companionship. There are examples of foul play within the scene, showing that the journey is not going to be easy but ultimately it is a positive piece that is designed to be less whimsical and more real. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hope is for this piece to portray a sense of determination to succeed and tackle obstacles in your way head on whilst keeping one eye on where you are going, to keep on walking, baby step or full stride it doesn’t matter because each is one step closer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retro by Ronnie Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £425","offer_id":55967026282882,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £425","offer_id":55967026315650,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £525","offer_id":55967026348418,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £525","offer_id":55967026381186,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - Custom Frame £755","offer_id":55967026413954,"sku":null,"price":755.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £595","offer_id":55967026446722,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £595","offer_id":55967026479490,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £695","offer_id":55967026512258,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £695","offer_id":55967026545026,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - Custom Frame £995","offer_id":55967026577794,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Black Frame £1295","offer_id":55967026610562,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - White Frame £1295","offer_id":55967026643330,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Custom Painted Frame £1695","offer_id":55967026676098,"sku":null,"price":1695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/9690\/0994\/files\/LAWR-Full.jpg?v=1763132375"},{"product_id":"my-beautiful-wickedness-wizard-of-oz","title":"My Beautiful Wickedness (Wizard Of Oz)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Giclée Edition Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 2AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition fine art print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size: 25” x 18.5\" - Framed Size (Approx): 33.5” x 26\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Giclée Edition Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 2AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition fine art print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size: 32” x 24\" - Framed Size (Approx): 42” x 35\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Canvas Edition Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 2AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition fine art hand embellished canvas print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size: 36” x 27\" - Framed Size (Approx): 41.5” x 32\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease allow approximately 21 days for delivery, should you need delivery sooner please let us know.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet in touch for overseas delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection from Worthing store available (specify at checkout)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNarrative: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece explores the character traits of the most destructive and powerful person within the story - the Wicked Witch of the West, a lady so full of rage that is born out of envying neglect that the fires still burn as fiercely as ever but does she still have a heart? Her blood dried up long ago and she knows any tears shed would wound her, possibly even be fatal if the floodgates were allowed to open. What we see of the wicked witch of the west is a woman scorned, an absolute bitch with terrifying powers who holds so much hatred towards her opposing sister that she didn’t shed a single tear when she was flattened, or actually was that just her protecting herself? Is Dorothy simply a scapegoat for something much deeper and older? There is talk of the wicked witch of the west falling foul to her fathers favouritism as a young girl with her sister being the apple of his eye - there continues the green theme again! What actually happened to make her skin literally turn green with envy? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor someone to be that full of hate and hurt they would have lost all sense of context and reasoning way back, she knows not what she does surely? Has her wickedness become a genuine art form for her? Are there any human qualities left under that shell of carbon? Does she still have a soul, a single strand of hope to see her be saved? Or is she too far gone? What this piece will does is take on a similar style and narrative to my 2016 ‘High Ho’ piece where I showed Snow White is a much darker light but where there were signs of innocence, fragility and hope and that is what I have strived to achieve with this piece. I originally planned to create a roomset but chose to focus on the throne to portray a stronger sense of power and dominance, a setting for where plans and spells are formulated, or a place to sit within her shell where she waits and 'bleeds'. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is a window into the world outside through her crystal ball that rests against her throne, look closely and you will see the same scene as featured in ‘The Long And Winding Road’. The detail within the piece suggests that she is wrestling with her demons whilst retaining what is left of any good, is she too far gone? The decor is an intriguing mix of brutal objects and soft furnishings that glow green and subtle detailing that hints at a personality trapped. The aim was to create a real open-ended piece where certain objects make you question what has already happened possibly, the water? the slipper placed within a box that sat empty for so long? There is definitely more than meets the eye here and again something to consider in general. Just because someone can cause carnage doesn’t always mean that they are any less fragile underneath or vulnerable to further damage, more likely they just need setting free from the spell that has been cast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retro by Ronnie Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £425","offer_id":55967031067010,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £425","offer_id":55967031099778,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £525","offer_id":55967031132546,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £525","offer_id":55967031165314,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - Custom Frame £755","offer_id":55967031198082,"sku":null,"price":755.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £595","offer_id":55967031230850,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £595","offer_id":55967031263618,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £695","offer_id":55967031296386,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £695","offer_id":55967031329154,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - Custom Frame £995","offer_id":55967031361922,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Black Frame £1295","offer_id":55967031394690,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - White Frame £1295","offer_id":55967031427458,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Custom Painted Frame £1695","offer_id":55967031460226,"sku":null,"price":1695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/9690\/0994\/files\/MJDMBWIO.jpg?v=1763132490"},{"product_id":"im-not-afraid-a-midsummer-nights-dream","title":"I'm Not Afraid (A Midsummer Night's Dream)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Giclée Edition Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 2AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition fine art print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size: 25” x 18.5\" - Framed Size (Approx): 33.5” x 26\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Giclée Edition Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 2AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition fine art print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size: 32” x 24\" - Framed Size (Approx): 42” x 35\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Canvas Edition Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 2AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition fine art hand embellished canvas print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size: 36” x 27\" - Framed Size (Approx): 41.5” x 32\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease allow approximately 21 days for delivery, should you need delivery sooner please let us know.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet in touch for overseas delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection from Worthing store available (specify at checkout)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNarrative: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy interpretation of Shakespeare’s famous play ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ is a modern take on the beautiful classic paintings that exist, by creating an intriguing image that touches you and fuels your own imagination. I enjoy presenting a scene full of drama that you would happen to stumble upon when walking through a dense woodland. One that is compact to the point that a few metres either side and you could easily walk by never knowing it existed, or try to retrace your steps to go back to what you are sure you saw but never find, maybe it was all just a dream? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTall, dense trees that filter light through whilst creating imposing and ever-changing shadows, mist that creeps and winds around them from a previous shower, a forest floor that is so full of life and detail where so many creatures wake when others sleep and the notion that the forest becomes enchanted, a true fairytale. Sat against one of the trees is a jaded Nick Bottom who sits dejected after having his head turned into an donkey by the mischievous Puck during a rehearsal of a play. An act that was designed to scare off the other characters and upset him but failed to achieve what was intended. The queen of the fairies Titania sits alongside Nick with her arms draped around his neck offering comfort and support. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is such a beautiful image that on first glance can be quite random but when you look closer it portrays so much more and was the catalyst for my narrative that drives this piece. Like with the majority of my work there exists darkness and light, sadness and hope, each side by side and battling for control. This is the case here as I have combined beautiful detail and a piercing light source with subtle tinges of darkness that linger in the shadows and try to encroach on what is good, or vulnerable. Coming into the scene, appearing through the glow is Oberon, the king of the fairies, a beautiful deer wearing a wooden crown has a wonderful dream-like feel, something that you might just happen to see in a glance of an eye or when the light expands and contracts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA solitary white dove that symbolises protection to a loved one whenever used in my work rests on a branch above which only strengthens Nick’s resolve and fuelling his determination not to be beaten. You might also notice a hare sat on it’s haunches, it’s funny I had always intended to introduce animals to my forest setting and this particular time of day here in the studio sees rabbits and hares come out from the hedgerows and their burrows and sprint about in front of me. It is so good to see as the reflection from the large studio windows allows me to watch largely unseen however they do seem to have an incredible sense of danger and speed of reaction so because of this I have positioned one close to the characters so as to become a look out and alert them at the first sense of trouble. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrough finding comfort and support from those close and in spirit Nick draws from this and rises above Puck, instead of being crushed and defeated by looking like an Ass, he finds the strength to sing! The aim was to create a piece that lived up to the enormity of the play and that embraced all that is wonderful whilst putting my own twist to it and showcasing my own style. I hope I have created not just a powerful image that is authentic to the original narrative but that I have succeeded in expanding on the sense of seeking and finding comfort through those close to you, both physically and in spirit and being able to rise up, gain strength and sing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retro by Ronnie Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £425","offer_id":55967047614850,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £425","offer_id":55967047647618,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £525","offer_id":55967047680386,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £525","offer_id":55967047713154,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - Custom Frame £755","offer_id":55967047745922,"sku":null,"price":755.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £595","offer_id":55967047778690,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £595","offer_id":55967047811458,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £695","offer_id":55967047844226,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £695","offer_id":55967047876994,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - Custom Frame £995","offer_id":55967047909762,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Black Frame £1295","offer_id":55967047942530,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - White Frame £1295","offer_id":55967047975298,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Custom Painted Frame £1695","offer_id":55967048008066,"sku":null,"price":1695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/9690\/0994\/files\/MSND.jpg?v=1763132781"},{"product_id":"fade-to-black-the-woman-in-black","title":"Fade To Black (The Woman In Black)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Giclée Edition Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition Size: 25 + 5AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition fine art print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size: 25” x 18.5\" - Framed Size (Approx): 33.5” x 26\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Giclée Edition Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 2AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition fine art print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size: 32” x 24\" - Framed Size (Approx): 42” x 35\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Canvas Edition Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 2AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition fine art hand embellished canvas print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size: 36” x 27\" - Framed Size (Approx): 41.5” x 32\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease allow approximately 21 days for delivery, should you need delivery sooner please let us know.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet in touch for overseas delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection from Worthing store available (specify at checkout)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNarrative: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis shows my interpretation of a story that has gripped me ever since I first read the Susan Hill novel in school, The Woman In Black. A genuine family favourite of mine as I remember watching the 1983 film with my brothers way back as kids one night before Christmas and the book didn’t prepare me for what was to come, genuinely terrifying and real, no silly effects or big actors, just images that still make me go cold to this day. It was the power of the figure on the marshes that was the most gripping, the sense of isolation and truly being haunted by someone with so much subtle anger. I own one of the original video cassettes of the film and have made countless friends sit down and watch it in the pitch black, patio doors open and all, it was the first film that my partner and I watched together, obsessed? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI’ve also been lucky enough to watch the play adaptation at the Fortune Theatre twice and absolutely loved everything about the venue and the play so the chance to create my own interpretation and tell my story is incredible. The intention has always been to create a scene that was beautiful, serene and calm yet that showed details that pulled on the heart strings, that were full of sorrow and sadness and that would make you think a little deeper. I wanted to compose a piece that did just the same as the original did, to inject a small detail that turned the image on it’s head, that detail being the unforgettable silhouetted figure of Jennet Drablow dressed in her funeral attire. The thought of creating something dramatic and over the top didn’t interest me, it just wouldn’t be right for this subject. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is one point where on the marshes Arthur Kipp knows that something terrifying is there and spins to reveal the silhouette, I wanted to create that factor where you are focused on the beautiful detail, you know something is there but try to avoid looking because you desperately don’t want to see her. The impact that Jennet had on all those who saw her was brutal and most often terminal but it is another case of not being born bad, it shows what we assume to be a normal woman who’s life is turned upside down through bearing a child out of wedlock and then losing him twice. We see hatred born towards her sister Alice who took her son from her and who couldn’t save him from the sinking mud and rising tide of the Nine Lives Causeway committing Jennet to a world of hatred and inflicted insanity. Is blood truly thicker than water? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt really is a story of the unforgiven - Jennet for having a child out of wedlock and Alice for being blamed for taking her son and not saving him. Details within the scene show the relationship between Jennet and her son, Nathaniel, an ageing teddy, a wooden train (links to how Arthur travelled to Criffin Gifford), poignant images that showed so much more before she faded to black. As with so much of my work I have created the piece to leave a lot to interpretation rather than dictating, you might look at it and think that you are looking at the point in time within the original narrative however if you look a little deeper you will notice the ruined Eel Marsh House, a broken rocking chair (I had to do that as that damned thing terrified me!) that suggest that time has moved by and the shifting tides have withdrawn to reveal objects previously hidden. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYet Jennet remains, destined to stand there alone. It is such a terrifying story line, how could it not be when children are lost in horrific circumstances throughout, yet personally the subsequent remakes of the film seem to make it hard to find any apathy towards the woman in black because of how hyped up every detail was. My hope is that I manage to make people think, to consider the events that took a woman, a mother and made a monster. \"They have asked for my story. I have told it.
