Observations

The style combines stark black-and-white portraiture with extremely dense, finely rendered assemblages of faces, costumes, machinery, animals, and fragments. Fine ink-like linework and collage-like layering create surreal mechanical transformations, set against broad areas of white negative space and intensified by hard tonal contrast.
