Go Ask Alice

“Go Ask Alice” is the heart of my Down the Rabbit Hole series — the moment everything begins to unravel.

Alice is caught mid-fall, delicate and almost ballerina-like as she tumbles through the chaos of Wonderland. But this isn’t the sugary, storybook Alice we’re used to. This version is slipping out of reality — not running from it, but surrendering to the descent. Her fall is weightless, dreamlike, and beautifully unhinged.

The painting can be hung in any direction — there’s no true ‘up’ or ‘down’ here. That was deliberate. I wanted to capture that disoriented, floating sensation of losing your grip on reality. It mirrors the Wonderland experience itself — where nothing is what it seems, and everything familiar starts to distort.

The mushrooms that frame the top and bottom (or is it the sides?) are more than just a nod to the classic tale — they echo the drug references laced throughout the original story, and even more so throughout this series. Alice’s journey is one of altered perception, of falling deeper into a mindscape that doesn’t play by the rules.

Go Ask Alice isn’t just a fall — it’s a letting go.
