Dorothy, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks – all are the same archetype on the cusp of adolescence, and the road to adulthood is riddled with dangerous self-discovery.

This painting is based on a recurring nightmare I’d had since I was four. At twelve, I began drawing it out (literally and figuratively), and the dreams stopped.

We take control of our fears by actively considering them in daylight, not hiding from them in the dark with our eyes closed.
