Fungus blooms and dies, bones weather, and moths form halos around dismembered animals in this darkly exquisite collection from acclaimed artist Lauren Marx.
In her words-
Animals always have been, and always will be, my passion. They have
been the subjects of my drawings ever since I was a child. I blame
it on weekends spent at the Saint Louis Zoo and endless hours
watching "National Geographic's- Mutual of Omaha- Wild Kingdom".
They influenced my desire to learn about biology while attending
high school. While in high school, I began collecting bones,
feathers, and books. Over these past few years, my passion grew to
zoology, cosmology, and mythology.
In the spring of 2012, I finally combined my obsessions into one
drawing- "Galactic Collision". The theme surrounding that piece has
been the focus of my work ever since.
In 2014, I graduated from Webster University with a Bachelors of
Fine Arts with an emphasis on drawing. I currently reside in St.
Louis, Missouri.
