Miss- Leading - Research 2

Authors own 

For another way of showing being miss-lead, I thought about how dreams can be miss-leading as their not what they seem. 

I have had dreams or flying, naked dreams and even had a gun pointed in my face. These represent (flying) this is the dream that I had before attending Ravensbourne depicting, I need to rise above things as I have a lack of confordenice, feeling fear meaning not ready for the next step As well as (Naked dream) feeling vulnerable, exposed left without any defenses maybe hiding something and that I'm afraid that others can see right through me

(Gun: someone trying to shoot me) feeling aggression and anger port entail danger, defensive about something, looking for shelter/ protection this stemmed from a resent break up I had.

I then researched the origanal stories of particular fairytales. 

- Cinderllea's step sisters married into the royal family but had their eyes pecked out by doves or pigeons (this in itself is misleading many versions of this story)

There was no god mother instead cinderllea planted a tree where her mother died and prayed undernieth it every day that's how the dress and shoes appeared. Etc...

- Sleeping Beauty was raped in her sleep by a king consequently got pregnant with twins, the king was married to any other women his wife tried to make him eat the babies when they were born to prove to her that he wants her and only her but instead he burned his wife and lived happily ever after with Sleeping Beauty. Etc...

These were the starting point for the two step sisters in Cinderella. I was trying to depicts the sence where they get their eyes pecked out by pigeons/doves, for this particular sence I have used inspiration from Whitney Lenox (tattoo artist and painter) as she creates in my opinion gothic beauties this appearance also relates to the work of kikyz1313 she combinds decay and beauty to depicts a desperbing but amazing piece of art. To develop my work even further I could perhaps use these technquies to improve my work so that I could develop the same appearance and message which Lenox and Kikyz1313 does.
