Partially inspired by the Northern Renaissance, these works from 2009-2012 (with two later inclusions from 2018) are fairly small and minutely detailed. They exhibit a portrait-like sensibility from afar while, upon closer inspection, suggest biological forms that coalesce in surrealistic fusion. The imagery reflects physical sensations such as disgust, hunger, lust, phobia, etc., and a sense of direct light has been avoided in order to emphasize the non-reality of these fantastical depictions; a deliberate flatness undermines their composition and structure. They’re meant to feel off, familiar yet inherently foreign, from somewhere they couldn’t be, or a past in the future.
