Below, follows an discussion between the two artists about the piece.
Zoe: Maria is the only person I've met who said that fairy tales where absent from her childhood. My experience was the complete opposite.
Maria and I met by chance in DC; the only Greeks in a group show some years ago. We started talking—about the past, the present, life here and there. We discovered that we explored similar themes in our art, namely fairy tales. So, the idea of this collaborative piece was born.
Maria: Tell Me More Stories explores narratives—based on stories not told in my case, and stories retold and refashioned in Zoe's piece. We used the idea of absence and presence as a starting point to anchor conceptually our points of view.
Zoe: I grew up with stories about small beings coming down the chimneys at night, opulent kingdoms in faraway places, little girls wandering alone into the woods. All these images still remain vivid, and my parents' voices echo in my mind every time I read my daughter a story. Through my piece, I tell my stories to Maria Anasazi and show her my childhood images, like an offering.
Maria: I was reintroduced to fairy tales as an adult taking a graduate course on children¹s literature, when I realized fairy tales and myths had not been part of my childhood. I felt the loss of the absence. I grew up without children¹s books, but I learned how to sew at an early age. Using the technique of the seamstress I created a dress tearing pages of story books using wire and paper twist. My work is about embodiment of the fairy tale magic.
Zoe: I've focused on the Little Red Riding Hood story a number of times in my past work. When Maria and I talked about a collaborative piece I had this image in my mind of a little girl dressed in a red cape running endlessly. Later, the narrative changed. I decided to create a video of a little girl putting on a Little Red Riding Hood costume with the help of her mother. This is the first time I used my daughter for a piece. Most of what you see on the video is improvised. The costume she's wearing was mine when I was her age.
Maria: I'm weaving a big, hollow, long dress of tales never told. It's made up from hundreds torn pieces of yellowing pages. If you get close enough it smells like a library of old books. The dress will stand alone and mute in the space, behind it Zoe's video, filled with movement, will be reciting her personal fairy tale in Greek and English.
Zoe: When the work came out of the studio—in this case the editing suite—it took on a life of its own. I saw "Don't Go through the Woods" projected on the gallery wall and almost didn't recognize it. What was an intimate tale of personal engagements suddenly had become big and overpowering. I need to hide.
I like Maria's dress standing on stage like an opera singer with no voice and only a strong longing for another way of being.
Maria: The dress stands almost like a person. A lonely person. If you touch it or push it its expression will change. This dress will be the host of a performance. On December 15 I will wear the dress and for once I will become a listener, a recipient of fairy tales. (Less)

Many concerned mothers today worry about raising their princess. There is a royal struggle to have fun with fairy tales and at the same time teach girls the true meaning of “Happily Ever After!”
This is a story I can truly believe in and feel comfortable sharing with my children.”
—Noelle Williams, mother of three
“We’ve had countless women all over the nation tell us they wish there had been a book like this when they were little.”
—Susan Johnston, Princess Bubble author
Two Sassy Single Authors Redefine Fairy Tale Endings for Young Readers!
ATLANTA, April 18,2008—You know how the story goes—Prince Charming, “Happily Ever After,” The End, right? Is this the ONLY option today’s moms want to share with their young daughters? Two successful single gals are offering parents an updated version of the traditional fairy tale. No longer a “Damsel in Distress,” this princess travels the world, helps others, and finds “happily ever after” even before she finds her Prince!
With wisdom gleaned from their careers as independent, globe-trotting flight attendants, first-time authors Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb have crafted a new generation of fairy tales that celebrates singleness and self worth. A contemporary fairy tale for all ages, Princess Bubble was written to reduce the overwhelming sense of failure, self-doubt, and despair that many youth face.

“I adore sharing the Princess Bubble message with my daughter because it teaches her that happiness comes from within,” said Kim Daniels, mother of two.
Princess Bubble stars a princess who is confused by the traditional fairy tale messages that say she must find her “prince” before she can live “happily ever after.” Princess Bubble dons her “thinking crown” to research traditional fairy tales, interviews married girlfriends, and even takes counsel from her mother, who advises her to sign up atFindYourPrince.com. With a little help from her fairy godmother (this is still a fairy tale after all), Ms. Bubble discovers that “living happily ever after” is not about finding a prince. “True happiness,” the book reveals, “is found by loving God, being kind to others, and being comfortable with who you are already!”
“We are definitely not anti-Prince,” said Webb. “We just believe that young girls today are bombarded with so much inaccurate advice on how to build their self-esteem—messages that focus on the outside rather than what’s within. We want to change that message.”
ABOUT PRINCESS BUBBLE and BUBBLE GUM PRESS: The Princess Bubble message, cleverly articulated by former Delta flight attendants Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb, seeks to find an alternate ending to “happily ever after” and change the notion that life begins and ends with finding your Prince Charming. Looking to bolster the poor self-esteem of female youth and the stigma that many single adult women carry, Johnston and Webb believe“this is a book for women of all ages, a story they can believe in and share with their children.” In upcoming adventures, Princess Bubble will travel to distant lands where the knowledge of every new culture will enrich her flourishing life.
