FABLES

Fables draws on the idea, expressed by G.K. Chesterton, that animals in fables are not characters but symbols as constant as numbers or chess pieces. In this series, animals move through an impersonal world where pride, cunning, and strength play out their inevitable patterns. Each image becomes part of that ancient “animal alphabet” by which humanity once taught itself its simplest and strongest lessons.
