Anthony Browne: how I re-imagined Alice in Wonderland
Anthony Browne: how I re-imagined Alice in Wonderland. Queen of Hearts is constantly angry so I clothed her in a vibrating mass of red, blue and yellow that’s actually discomforting to to look at for more than a second or two. She’s got more of a three-dimensional reality than the other playing card figures, as befits her more assertive personality. This aspect of two and three dimensions is something I’ve played with in this illustration. From Carroll’s description it’s difficult to grasp what these playing card figures look like - are they flat like real playing cards or are they like people dressed up as playing cards? I’m still not sure. Photograph: Anthony Browne
