Illustrated Imogen    11"x14"2"     Acrylic on convex canvas

Imogen comes from a long line of Illustrated Men and Ladies, though sadly none of them survived the Winter of her seventh year, or the particularly insidious strain of influenza that came with it. Having only one remaining relation, a wild-eyed grandmother prone to bouts of rageful somnambulism, she spent her eigth year lonely and nervous in a little white house on a river. One night, as the grandmother slept much more horizontally than usual, Imogen tiptoed to her row-boat, and drifted speedily on the current into the inky night. When the sun woke her, she was on the back of a giant hare - and approaching Oddfellow's Orphanage.
