The rich visual language Vanessa employs – huge narrative drawings containing microcosmic tableaus within – marries a particular tradition of fairytales and folklore that is ripe for exploration within other cultures that share a strong folkloric and aural history. It would be incredible to exhibit her work in South America which shares many of these traditions. Her work needs high walls (8m +) and space to envisage the piece, they are works on paper and often unframed and glazed.
