‘Pure Imagination’ is a collection of
contemporary photographs, inspired by
Roald Dahl’s infamous revolting rhymes.
This book showcases a selection of
nine much loved, childhood peoms.
These peoms have been brought to life
through the combination of Fine Art,
Fashion and Photography.
‘Pure Imagination’ is a photographic
story book which shines a light on the
more mischevious side of these poems,
by illustrating Dahl’s characters through
fashion fused portrait photography.
ABOUT THE BOOK

After completing an Art Foundation
course at Wimbledon College of
Art and Design (2009), Bella initially
focused her artistic skills towards Fine
Art. She realised that her calling was
Photography. Bella is now currently in
her final year of Manchester Art School
(2013) studying Photography.
Bella talks about Photography as;
‘An artistic medium that enables me
to manipulate the truth by building
a narrative that allows viewers to
construct and develop their own ideas
and responses.
My work is mainly fashion based, which
I have combined with aspects of Fine
Art. This allows me to explore the
creativity of my imagination, achieved
by incorporating and manipulating
other artistic mediums.’

Dear friends.
We surely all agree there’s almost nothing
thing worse to see than some repulsive
little bum who’s always chewing chewing
gum.
Chewing all day long.
She chewed while bathing in the tub.
She chewed while dancing at her club.
She chewed in church and on the bus; it
was really quite ludicrous!

So far as children are concerned is never,
never let them near your television set.
Or better still just don’t install the idiotic
thing at all.
In almost every house we’ve been, we
watched them gaping at the screen.
They loll and slope and lounge about, and
stare until their eyes pop out.

Come with me and you’ll be in a world of
pure imagination.
Take a look and you’ll see
Into you’re imagination.
We’ll begin with a spin, travelling in the
world of my creation.
What we will see will defy explanation.

The small girl smiles.
One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims at the creature’s head
Bang bang. She shoots him dead.

Augustus Gloop!
The great big greedy nincompoop
How long could we allow this beast to
gorge and guzzle, feed and feast on
everything he wanted to?

HOT AND COLDMODEL: JESS CUSACK
01.2013 A woman who my mother knows
Came in and took off all her clothes.
Said I, not being very old,
‘By golly gosh, you must be cold!’
‘No, no!’ she cried. ‘Indeed I’m not!
I’m feeling devilishly hot!

And there, her little greedy eyes
See pills of every shape and size,
Such fascinating colours too,
Some green, some pink, some brown,
some blue.
She gobbles five, she gobbles ten,
She stops her gobbling only when
The last pill’s gone.
There are no more.

I want a ball,
I want a party,
Pink macaroons,
And a million balloons,
And performing baboons and
Give it to me now.
Don’t care how, I want it now.
Don’t care how, I want it now.

When little Snow-White’s mother died,
The King, her father, up and cried
“Oh, what a nuisance! What a life!
Now I must find another wife.”
However, in the end he chose,
A lady called Miss Maclahose,
Who brought along a curious toy,
That seemed to give her endless joy.
