These drawings are like a storyboard for a yet to be produced film - a dark mirror of the authorised version - constructed from the out-takes left on the cutting room floor. A negative epiphany. Gems from trash.
Images seethe and burst the frame, characters tumble through one another's stories in a frenzy; a juxtaposition of conflicting scales, colliding perspectives and unnerving shifts in gravity's pull. Projected demons hold their victims spellbound; hypnotised by the funnel of light as in a slasher movie, while we track behind the screen to witness one more terror after another, waiting for us in a succession of shocks. Violent montage. Gleeful play. |
