The series of oil paintings depict strange rituals and imagined universes, referencing myth, sci-fi, performance art, and sadomasochism. Flayed horses, endometriotic uteruses, banquets, dying swans, queens, masks, babies, feasts, bestiality, and rabid dogs are some of the vivid images in this theatrical world.
