Charles Steffen

by Charles Steffen, Michael Bonesteel

This volume explores a unique artistic universe centred on themes of the nude, the maternal figure, and metamorphosis. Through drawings of hybrid human, animal, and plant forms, the collection reflects on physical change, illness, and human solitude.
