This series of graphite drawings takes inspiration from the raw and visceral imagery of Ted Hughes’s poetry. From his words, the artist invents monstrous beings and apocalyptic landscapes where desolate valleys and sun-scorched terrains unfold. Figures with multiple limbs emerge, hybrid creatures moving restlessly through empty spaces, embodying both fragility and menace. The graphite medium, with its dense shadows and subtle gradations, amplifies the tension between presence and absence, life and decay. These works transform Hughes’s poetic landscapes into visionary terrains, where language mutates into image and the monstrous becomes a mirror of inner states and collective fears.
