The Ghostly Tale
By Rachel Kurjacovic
Fairytales began as dark lessons, evolving over the years into magical adventures with happy endings. Drawn to the transformation of these fables, I’ve illustrated in three rings the story of a woman who hides her secret behind a velvet ribbon. The first is a silver ribbon wedding band, the second a nod back to the French Revolution origins of the story. The final ring is where I intersect with this progression, evoking the pegboard walls of the basement where I first heard this ghostly tale.
