Creatures
Victor Frankenstein is the first to unlock the key to life, but not the last.Over two centuries of relentless advancement, five more minds find the secret, and five more creatures are made. Five more ...
Actually, @tadethompson.bsky.social has a point, I should shout about this from time to time!
CREATURES: THE LEGACY OF FRANKENSTEIN was a mosaic novel-slash-anthology by Tade, @emmanewman.bsky.social, @kaaronwarren.bsky.social, Rose Biggin and Paul Meloy.

After Conflux was over, I deconstructed the dress, inviting people to choose a patch. It made me so happy to share this artwork around, and it felt like the right next phase for a work called "Brave New Wardrobe".

The dress is titled "Brave New Wardrobe". The theme of the art show was "Brave New Worlds". It's fast fashion, covered with slow stitched patches. The buttons are from op shops, the material all gathered in scraps from sewers, or cut from clothing about to be thrown away.
