'Taking its title from Richard Doyle’s 'In Fairyland' (1870), this exhibition explores the medium of the fairy and, reciprocally, the fairy as medium. (Through representation) we invite you to re-question your belief in these magical beings.'

From the exhibition:
What interested me from the exhibition wasn't necessarily the fine artist's work (sculptures made out of insects). But in fact was Richard Doyle's book which was the inspiration for the exhibition. The old and traditional decorative type which has been crafted with a gold foiling showcases a large amount of different intricate and delicate illustrations. These books aren't necessarily graphic design as strictly suggested as they include illustration but from looking into older books and printing methods in my first year COP study I have found that I enjoy looking at older books and how they were made to influence my own design style and outcomes.

There was also a piece by Su Blackwell and I instantly recognised it was hers from seeing her work previously based on the book Wuthering Heights. (see below)
