Mundus Transfiguratus

Towards a Queer Ecological Mythology

 

Mundus Transfiguratus depicts an alternate mythological world where queer transmogrified beings take centre stage and challenge the established perception of human supremacy. This experimental counter narrative interweaves fiction and reality, legend and biography. It explores themes of conflict, displacement and trauma, while also celebrating hope, love, and the resilience of those who overcome adversity.

Haruspical Paintings

​

Haruspical Paintings draw their inspiration from the ancient practice of divination through entrails, where hidden knowledge was once sought in the bodies of sacrificed animals. In these works, semi-figurative forms unfold into mythical beings imagined from the viscera of possibility. They carve out their own space within Mundus Transfiguratus, asking us to imagine a place where otherness can appear and endure. As a remembrance of the animals once offered, they become portals into this new mythology, where sacrifice gives way to creation, and where unfamiliar life-forms can co-exist.​​​​
