We are gods in the chrysalis

by Meghan Boody, Katie Roiphe, Sue Scott

This monograph presents surreal digital tableaux, dioramas and photo-vitrines created using intricate Photoshop layering. The images depict young women in mythological quests, drawing on themes of psychoanalysis, fairy tales and archetypes of the unconscious.
