The objects in these paintings and drawings appear partially withdrawn from view. Variously fragmented, veiled, or shown from behind, the enigmatic forms featured in these images withhold details and obstruct full visibility. They are based on 3D scans that transform their subjects into virtual objects, detached from the physical world despite their semblance of material solidity. The resulting images simulate studio artefacts of a type traditionally found in artists’ ateliers, such as anatomical casts moulded from classical sculptures, but they occupy a simulated realm of infinite spaces, jarring colours, and illusory patterns, undergoing a protracted process of mediation. Staged in visually discordant contexts and seemingly dislodged, hidden, or cropped to varying degrees, these posthuman effigies do not correspond with authenticity, appearing instead as incongruous figments; implausible and artificial.
