**A Curious Delight**  
By Meagan Hyland  
Screen print, 8.25 inches x 16.5 inches

**1\. This work is …** inspired by Lewis Carroll’s *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland*.

**2\. I made this work because …** I was asked to take part in an exhibition to celebrate the opening of the film *Alice Through the Looking Glass* last May, focusing on the female empowerment that Alice represents. I also love to include typography where I can in my work, as I am an avid hand-letterer.

**3\. I hope when people see this work they will …** appreciate all the little references to the original stories that I have included, and also enjoy the colours and craft of the screen print.

**4\. In terms of art history, this work …** deals with pop culture, as does most of my work. I am influenced by what interests me, namely cinema, books, and music. In terms of style, I look more to graphic design than to any single art movement. For this piece, I looked at medicine bottles from the 19th century, as well as alcohol packaging.

**5\. You can see my work …** at [Hero Complex Gallery](https://hcgart.com/?ref=dublininquirer.com) or [Gallery 1988](http://nineteeneightyeight.com/?ref=dublininquirer.com) in Los Angeles, California, or [Spoke Art Gallery](http://spoke-art.com/collections/bobs-burgers?ref=dublininquirer.com) in New York.
