Presented here is the final outcome of CommDe’s Year 1 Materials, Processes and Drawing Students’ second brief: to re-imagine the narrative, themes and motifs from Lewis Carroll’s favourite books, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

Alice provides an inexhaustible mine of literary, philosophical, and scientific themes. Carroll adored the unprejudiced and innocent way young children approach the world; he wanted to describe how a child sees our adult world, including all of the (in the eyes of a child, silly and arbitrary) rules and social etiquette we created for ourselves, as well as the ego’s and bad habits we have developed during our lives. Working with cardboard, pop up book engineering and basic electrical circuits, the work invites the viewer to re-imagine the key chapters

of Alice in a context of social, cultural and economic themes that resonate with the CommDe Year 1 student cohort.
