Les Petits Enfants is French for ‘the little children’. This art collection is inspired by the sinister lyrics in classic nursery rhythms. Each piece combines experimental typography & stark black/white imagery to create an abstract & slightly off-putting graphic.

MOTHER GOOSE
Mother Goose is a fictitious character in French folklore who serves as the matriarch of this collection. The blueprint is inspired by the Freemason logo with the title spelled in abstract flames that wrap around the wings. There’s a book at the base to incite sinister stories & smaller flames complete the goose’s silhouette.
THREE BLIND MICE
3 Blind Mice was the original piece in this series & it resembles a Rorschach test. The inkblot outlines the silhouette of a large mouse & 2 smaller mice are infused through the whiskers. All the mice have their eyes sewn shut to further entwine the blindness & the title’s written in braille so it blends with the splatters.
HUMPTY DUMPTY
Humpty Dumpty weaved his way into pop culture in numerous ways & in this version, he embodies death. The eggshells create the nostrils & sockets of a skull while the yolk splatters spell the title. The brick wall helps contain the top half of the images, while the letters oozing below allude to a bloody ending.
