Alice at Naptime

'A beautiful, visual-poem about motherhood and art.'

A poetic exploration of being both a new mother and an artist, told using her own unique graphic novel and fine art approach. When Alice was born her mother only found time to draw her while she napped. Gradually Alice is multiplied in a tapestry of selves, both large and small, while an overarching narrative whispers through the pages, musing on the meeting of former and future selves. At its core, Alice at Naptime tells a universal story, of a parent pining for past freedoms, while simultaneously descending down a rabbit hole of all-encompassing maternal love.

"I relished in those quiet moments when they dreamed, especially when a little smile would twinge the corner of their lips, erasing all the struggles of the day that had come before those moments of blissful peace. Alice at Naptime takes me back to those days of exhausted, nervous, joyful wonder."
