Running to the woods, she encounters her grandmother, a witch, sparking a fantastical chain of events that sees the schoolgirls turned into boys and Sir Blondel into a woman, as well as Jackeydawra finding love with Blondel's son.

Pewter Stool.
'I chose to use the natural landscape of Caerhays beach on the South coast of Cornwall to make the stool. Most of my childhood was spent on this, and other, Cornish beaches building castles, boats and tunnels in the sand, and I decided it would be nice to return to my favourite beach to produce a stool using a process Cornwall was once famous for. During the mining boom, Cornwall had two of the World’s three largest mine engine foundries (Harvey’s 1779-1903 and Copperhouse 1820-1869). They were both located in Hayle, where the fine quality of the Hayle estuary sand was perfect for sand casting.'

'Portrait Sculptures'
Realized at 65% scale in the unique, recently-sourced, densely-veined, hyper-translucent Rocky Mountain stone called Golden Honeycomb Calcite, exhibiting a layered surface suffused with a ‘sfumato' overlay of foliate relief and coincident miniscule diagonal / radial flutes, the glowing stony surrogate captures, in soft-focus Galatean contravention of its obdurate materiality, a moment of poignant reverie, rendered ethereal.
Reminiscent, alternately, at its apex, of traditional
‘socles’ and mid-20th-century Modernist furniture pedestals. The resultant deceptively-diminutive ensemble, created with deep reverence for and specific focus on the history of sculpture, makes an expansive case for the critical reconsideration of prevailing contemporary practice, while simultaneously probing both the subject’s psychology and her complex relationship to the artist.

Paul Virilio (born 1932 in Paris, France) is a cultural theorist and urbanist. He is best known for his writings about technology as it has developed in relation to speed and power, with diverse references to architecture, the arts, the city and the military.
Approximately 1,500 bunkers were built during World War II along the French shores to forestall an Allied landing—“the Atlantic Wall.” Decommissioned after the Allied invasion of Normandy, this elaborate defense system now lies abandoned. At the age of 25, Paul Virilio stumbled upon these relics with his camera and began a study that would continue for 30 years. His 1975 book, Bunker Archeology, has recently been translated into English and reprinted by Princeton Architectural Press: an inquiry of war and its structures and a personal memoir of exploration, merging technical analysis with philosophical questioning.
"The modernists wanted to strip the world of mystery and emotion. No wonder they excelled at the architecture of death" JG Ballard
Dug-in guard posts, normally equipped with loopholes through which to fire weapons, made from concrete are also known as "pillboxes". The originally jocular name arose from their perceived similarity to the cylindrical boxes in which medical pills were once sold. They are in effect a trench firing step hardened to protect against small-arms fire and grenades and raised to improve the field of fire.
Pillboxes are often camouflaged in order to conceal their location and to maximize the element of surprise. They may be part of a trench system, form an interlocking line of defence with other pillboxes by providing covering fire to each other (defence in depth), or they may be placed to guard strategic structures such as bridges and jetties.
