A video still from a 2D animation; delivered via pen and fibre-tipped markers on paper. Against dusky purple expanse, a multi-limbed being – many-faced, twisted-tongued, teal-green – levitates in a yogic squat. The being’s mouth-belly (beneath hypnotic red-nippled breast-eyes) with stained teeth and charcoal lips, delivers lurid green vegetative vomit. Waves of green rise, inundating the dusk.
