To be released next month 'The Wizard of Oz' by Graham Rawle is the coolest thing I have seen for a long time! I can't wait to see it for real! He has taken his interpretation of the story and made it into an illustrated book. A fantasy world is created from the use of colour and imagination with these quirky collaged scenes true to original book, interestingly perhaps even more so than the 1939 film! Questions are answered such as why is the tin man tin? and characters are included from the book such as dainty china and the hammer heads that weren't included in the film. This new interpretation of the story has such a strong visual presence that you will never think of the Wizard of Oz in the same way again! The collaged effect gives the impression of layers making the story have depth and levels. It's so unusual..I love it!
