Dialouges.

Having followed a trail of links in my research around "Silent Wolves", I came across a heartbraking historical use of the concept  "Wolf Children", or Wolfskinder(in german).

I had already started to sketch images of children riding big wolves, so I just googled the concept last week and there  suddenly was a long range of links to an actual story that has been occupying my mind since then.

I was not familiar with the area or history of East Prussia, and started a journey of finding out about it.
Some background here and here .

At the same time as I research content for my book, I sketch and test out images to use.
So far I have cut three MDF woodcuts and made some lithographies in the correct format for the book.
