FRANKENSTEIN; Or, The Modern Prometheus

An artistic digital collage featuring a human skull and a portrait of a person with curly hair. The image incorporates various textures, patterns, and illustrated elements such as orange hands at the bottom and partial text. The style is abstract and layered, creating a striking visual contrast.

During the Kolaj Institute’s Collage & Illustration Residency – Frankenstein, artists worked to visually interpret Mary Shelley’s 1818 proto-science fiction novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Artists created illustrations that connected Shelley’s text to contemporary issues. Participants explored the role of science and artificial intelligence, queerness, intersectional identities, narcissism, and modern relationships.

Kolaj Institute published Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus featuring illustrations made during the residency as a way of bringing this important, historical book and its themes to 21st century readers. A selection of artwork was later exhibited at Kolaj Institute in New Orleans.

 In this limited curation of artwork from the residency, I will be sharing a significant amount of my solo work— but also select pieces created in collaboration with my ever talented peers.
