The Tainted Tales
Alison Nash
The series is taken from three fairy tales, Cinderella, Red Riding Hood and Alice In Wonderland, 'The Tainted Tales' was subjected to interpretations, analysis and exposed to western cultural aspects, social relevance and incorporating psychological sadistic overtones to create an unheimlich aura surrounding the photographs to produce the adult versions of the these tales.
The tales illustrate, Cinderella subjected to psycological dominance from her own mother, Red Riding Hood depicted as the young male unable to fight his attraction for an older more powerful experienced woman who uses her sexuality to lure him, defining the western social aspect that women are becoming more independent, dominant and predatory. And Alice In Wonderland expresses the notion of western cultural delinquency and peer pressure seen in adolescence.
