The Jabberwocky Prayers, Leah Fraser

Description:
Wild things and wilderness have truly captivated the popular consciousness of late, seizing on a longing for magic and adventure haunting many of us wading through textbooks or tax returns. In Leah Fraser’s dreamy watercolours, fantastic figures swim out from inky nightscapes, quiet deserts and rich foliage. She paints faces that are both childlike and sinister, and threaded with melancholy and myscticism. Escape the everyday and swap it for something beautiful and unnerving. – JB
