This series of mixed-media/oil paintings takes religious memes from classical art history and re-imagines them in a diseased, post-human context. In a truly metamodern way, these images are meant to be simultaneously reverent and horrific, to both compel and repel, and in so doing to reflect the complexity of our relationships with our environments, our faiths, and ourselves. Each painting represents not only hours of indirect Old Master-inspired painting, but also hours of research into the syncretic/memetic history of the saints and deities represented.

In the Saint Sebastian paintings of the series, we draw from the early antiquity history of syncretizing Saint Sebastian with Apollo (it was this syncretization that granted St. Sebastian domain over plagues and contributed to his status as a romantic icon and object of male desire).
