 The comparisons are always made with Lewis Carroll and Alice.This tale and its illustrations maintain their own identity - dour and cross hatched to a certain melancholy. The pervading atmosphere feels like something Balthus would approve of. Harper's colours are highly individual, a chalky deadness and the creation of surfaces that absorb energy like punchbags. Marvellous.
