“Allegory” is a study of how past cultures have created stories to form understanding about the mysterious animals they shared the earth with. Throughout time, it is apparent humans only find understanding in the way they themselves interact with their surrounding world. So to explain these animals they have often have given them human or even god like attributes to give them significance and meaning. Through a muted pallet of ink in the series “Allegory” represents these past understandings, as well as the artists, through an exploration of violent and literal storytelling.
