Make a wish….
Exceptionally beautiful images by the hugely talented Cat O’Neil for Wellcome Collection’s ‘Stories‘. These carefully constructed paper cut-out illustrations are photographed and overlaid with digital colour and texture to bring visual and metaphorical depth. They accompany a wonderful piece by author, Ceri Houlbrook on The Wishing Tree of Loch Maree which has been brought low by thousands of pilgrims requiring healing. A meeting of social history, mental health and the natural world – perfect for Cat’s wonderful visual metaphors.
