The etymological root of Illustration is the latin “illustrationem” meaning “a vivid, enlightening representation”. Artemisia Cornett's drawing practice adopts the aesthetics of children's book illustration to render immersive, dream-like suggestions of narrative, inviting the audience to engage in reparative storytelling through interpretation. Within intricate animal allegory, Artemisia draws parallels to universal experiences of fear, shame and longing that underpin the escapist desire innate to fictional storytelling and the Arcadian ideal.
