kilnfired decals and painting/cyanotype on glass/engraving.
Monstrous creatures and super heroes have always been part of the imaginary world of humans.
In this multi-layered glass cabinets I combined a a kiln fired decal of a sea monster (made by Ulisse Aldrovandi, published posthumously in 1642) with kiln a fired decal of superheroes from 1950-1960 comics series to make my own new stories. The pictures that I used for this work are of course public domain. For some of the layers depicting the water part I made use of "bad" cyanotype layers where the gel had broken accidentally in an interesting way!

Float glass, decals, painting and copper stains, all kilnfired/ water gilding (gold leaf).
Long time ago I knew a woman, Maria. She was part of a large, extremely devout hard working farming family. She was a woman of few words, allways remaining in the background, in her world between heaven and hell.
Allthough her way of life seems very strange to me now, I want to bring a posthumous homage tot his woman of a former generation, for her kind and quiet honesty.
