This is a self-initiated project, a theatre poster for Three Women, which was recently staged at the Jermyn Street Theatre in London. I read the Sylvia Plath poem the play was based on, and to begin with I was really inspired by the animations of Lotte Reiniger (and the BFI have just released a collection of her short films), so I started making all these little silhouette people, pregnant women with conch shells for bellies etc. But they seemed a bit lifeless without being animated. And too subtle to work as a poster design. So instead I developed the same sort of technique into this more conceptual idea, which (I hope) sums up a lot of what the play is about.
