Danielle's Kidnapping

Danielle's Kidnapping is a short story that Gilian wrote when they were eight-years-old. It recounts a young girl's adventurous encounter with foraging and wild foods.

This handmade book, filled with crayon drawings and collaged, printed text, serves as an artifact of Gilian's lifelong fascination with storytelling, sensory exploration, journeying, and nature, dating back to childhood. It is also an example of the richness of childhood imagination, especially in connection with the natural world, which Gilian seeks to reconnect with through her work.
