New mixed media works on paper from an ongoing series depicting Frankenstein's monster and his journey reimagined, including cinematic, Romantic era landscape painting influences and other art histories. They depict shifting ‘interior’ landscapes, alluding to restless searching and resting places for the character. These landscapes depict the essence of this subject in tone and greens.
This character has been portrayed previously within a series of paintings and drawings called ‘English Gothic’, and live durational performances.
