Abstract
ABSTRACT Though myriad enchanted representations exist across the art forms, there is general societal dismissiveness towards maintaining heartfelt belief in fairies into adulthood. From a position of questioning this dichotomy and within the frame of negative capability, I share my belief in fairies. Pictures and words illustrate my experiences of lending my sewing hands to the possibility of fairy presence. Through tender reflections focus is given to the significance of patterns of perception and the relationship between how we depict fairy and the child’s, and consequently humanity’s, capacity for glimpsing at the bottom of the garden.
