Yet many tales speak of a different side to the creature—one that is ancient, a symbol of the ...

The imaginary stands between us and reality like a faceted glass. It deforms, multiplies, and refracts to alter the stability and common sense of the place we physically occupy. Bridging between the real world and its potential states, imaginary places transform our perception and understanding of what is before us. Drawings of imaginary places are thus an engagement with the world, a commitment to understanding what this world carries and means to us so that we can allow it to grow into o...
