Bridget Milligan's Reality Tales

Email Story

She stands in a child’s nightgown, her mouth covered by her book. Her fairy tale kingdom—both inviting and frightening—pulls us closer. We begin to remember tales from our own childhood. We look more carefully, notice the sinewy arms of our voiceless heroine, and see that she is not a girl at all, but a grown woman.

The newest collection of photographs by Bridget Milligan, College of Wooster assistant professor of art, continues an ancient tradition common to all cultures—telling tales of fantasy that illuminate the human condition.
