| Introduction | .....otherwise known as Louise, she shares a small but elegant fortress with her handsome black kitty, Master Mirlo... and a plethora of imaginary friends. - - - - - - They are reknowned locally (or not so locally) for their infamous Twilight Tea Parties, ghostly theatricals, elegant masked balls, and the curiously populated Artandghosts Circus. - - - - - - Tour dates and circus vacancies will appear from time to time, posted via the blog, so if you ever feel the urge to up sticks, abandoning your day-today for the weird allure of shadows and whimsy, please feel free to bookmark us, we will be more than happy to consider your application, especially if you have previous experience of singing mice and intolerably sneaky rabbits.- - - - - - Louise, herself, likes to make pictures, picture-stories, digital collage, surreal photomontage, paintings and papery things. Much of her work is influenced by fairytales, mythology, symbolism, victoriana and dreams....she also covets a curious obsession with dolls (she likes to chop them up and rearrange them, mercilessly) and would love to begin making her own:) God help us all! |
