influence to spiritual
mana. Snow White’s stepmother therefore seems to me a projection of
male jealousies.” I think Gaiman has captured this point in his
retelling of the tale. With the engravings I’ve created for this
book I hoped to capture some of the feeling and history that
surrounds Snow White. I wanted to portray a beauty in the Queen and
a sense of the demonic in the Princess. I prepared each block with
a vigour that would have made the Queen proud. I polished each end
grain maple surface and carefully incised my lines with purpose. I
can only hope they do justice to Snow Glass Apples and the
mythos of Snow White.
