On British Youth
*WORK IN PROGRESS*
Warnants’ prints, and the books from which they come, are a response to childhood, as it seems to exist today. One reminisces about childhood as a Blyton-esque story: romanticised and idyllic. Quickly one glosses over the angst and growing pains. Today's children are not allowed such innocence. Transforming old into new, weaving sweet with unsavoury, these satiric manipulations are sugar-coated in a classic style to make this, only slightly exaggerated, reality easier to swallow.
