Mythtaken
Mythtaken is a sculptural installation of an ongoing body of work about swamp magic, weaving together comics, costumes, embroidery, beading, and ceramics. There is an extension of the body through the treatment of sculpture and costume as artifact. These objects are displayed as evidence of the creature’s existence, and often appear as corporeal vessels.
