Lewis Carroll was the vigorously preserved pen-name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Born in 1832 he was educated at Rugby and Christ Church, Oxford, where he spent the rest of his life as a lecturer in mathematics. In 1861 he took deacon's orders but shyness and a constitutional stammer prevented him from seeking the priesthood. Margarita Krivitsky's atmospheric Alice paintings are a fusion of her Russian aesthetic ancestry and her visual reworking of this floridly nonsensical, often lyric narrative through the prism of a contemporary female, artist, thinker, and cultural observer. At times, she views Alice through the eyes of Limpang-Tung, the god of mirth and melodious minstrels, riding with her through undulating space and time. In other moments, Margarita notices our contemporary separation from the curious and complicated kind of nonsense written for those of another time and place. Images of tall, cloud-grappling towers, looming horses and didactic chess boards all serve to signpost this remote and guarded land which Alice inhibits and from which she emerges- eternally wide-eyed, sincere, inquisitive - to greet the modern day audience. Margarita has the symbolic and metaphysical vocabulary to follow Alice on her adventure, distilling and interpreting the essence of this elusive, yet firmly iconic, girl for the eyes and minds of today.
