By employing contemporary models of scientific and commercial illustration this work builds an eerie new reality, adopting a tone of objectivity while creating scenes that are simultaneously tense and engaging. Built with intricate dots and dashes, the vocabulary of mark making alludes to engravings of 16th century naturalists.

Subjects, who enter the scene as hybrid monsters and chimera, present disturbing juxtapositions while retaining elements of the familiar.

Through these surreal creations a subversive moment arises in the viewer’s mind; where sensations of disgust meet those of desire. In essence, documenting the moment where the monstrous moves freely in the space between the grotesque and beautiful.
