This is my long-form project. A restating of Art Nouveau, with its elegant theatricality - the posed figure, flowing line, and animal and botanical elements.

But to me, the ornaments have grown up wild and ungovernable.

It's Art Nouveau that has traveled between worlds. That comes to us as seduction, pulled into shadow.
