"We're creatures of the Underworld, we can't afford to love..."

These works are part of an on-going series of drawings that I started last summer. The work explores the relationship between the animal kingdom and modern society, focusing on contemporary man's mutable conception of nature. With the deer, the idea is that a very gentle and harmless creature has, by the replacement of his legs with knives and blades, been simultaneously made dangerous, fearful, and yet incapacitated. A juxtaposition of sympathy and terror are explored whilst depicting a world in flux, a nature imploding and dissolving.
