Monstress

graphite pencil on sculpted paper-clay 2019 When making this three-dimensional drawing I was imagining it as the hand of a female mythological being. The scales of the drawing and the title refer to it's otherness, and the fragmented form refers to the sometimes violent natural history collection practices of the past.
