Map Hatter Spade Alice Tree

Inspired by Caroll’s imperious Queen of Hearts and her guards, the humanoid playing cards, Kristjana has turned the joyful ‘heart’ into a tree, abundant with red and white roses. Spot tiny motifs of Alice’s world within the laden boughs; leggy flamingos leave their game of croquet to scale the branches, the ever ticking clocks and depictions of afternoon tea. The genial Cheshire Cat watches over walking playing cards.Kristjana has turned the hardworking ‘club’ into a bounteous tree. Spot tiny motifs of Alice’s world within the laden boughs; the giant caterpillar suggests imminent transformation and the magic-inducing mushrooms invoke a sense of the unfamiliar and surreal. One brightly hued bird is metamorphosed into the Mad Hatter, another into the boundlessly energetic March Hare.
