I love reaching back into the collective wellspring of lore to modernize fables. Folklore is not only an inspiration; it is a dialogue across centuries, a bridge spanning the precarious gap between then and now.
I like to think of myself as the vessel in which these stories are preserved, and within my creative work, they endure, forever burning bright in different shapes and forms.
In the case of Red Riding Hood Tames the Wolf, I modernized the story to focus on overcoming being afraid of speaking up if something feels wrong and trusting your instincts. Red Riding Hood is mature, in control, and she has all the tools to face and deal with threatening challenges.
