Quite a cushy life being a fairy nowadays
You can sport the Biggles look with pride
Don a float suit for water landings
Vac-and-skate in style
Keep fit and trim for optimum flight
and fall back on the trusty fairy launch facility when you're feeling a little low.Fairies and machine-like contraptions - be warned, Yorkshire-based artist Samantha Bryan reckons her overactive imagination results from severe exposure to bedtime stories as a child!
Inspired by Victorian gadgetry and invention, Samantha's wonderful sculptures depicting everyday life in fairyland are made from wire, leather, found objects & collected materials. Her extraordinary objective is to realise the necessities and requirements that would be involved in 'fairy life': to provide everything a fairy would demand during its daily existence.
Samantha has thought of everything, from ground commute footwear to wing augmentation and flight support aid. It really is a joy to see!
If you're lucky enough to live or be "up North", Samantha's work is currently on display at the YSP, if you need an excuse to visit.

I love Samantha Bryan's work, she shares a studio with Helaina Sharpley ( who does amazing wire artworks) at the WYPW where I go screen printing. There's a little notice on the door saying 'Urgently wanted, fairy hats and then little acorn shells and conker cases stuck on the note!! such wonderful imagination! Will definitely check out the display at YSP!
