Avondale
Avondale explores the idea of childhood through myth, folklore, and magical realism. Influences of myths intermingle with personal memory, and are formed into the persona of Amy Avondale, who creates the fictional town of Avondale in her mind.
The concept of the Hero Journey, where magical stages coincide with the development of the protagonist's self-discovery, were a major influence on the events that occur in Avondale. The series contemplates transitional stages of life, collecting memories that live in water and family heirlooms, and fortune telling.
