About this project

Developed through immersive drawing and sculpting in virtual space, these creatures provide the conceptual foundation for inflatable sculptures, 3D-printed objects, installations, and future public monuments. Together, they form an expanding imaginary biology shaped by symbiosis, conjoined bodies, gravity, vulnerability, and collective life.

The public archive currently contains 339 specimens: 124 Core works accompanied by extended records, and 215 Secondary works documenting formal studies, mutations, side experiments, and unrealised life forms.

Rather than a completed catalogue, the Creature Archive operates as a living and continually expanding system. Each creature exists both as an individual digital specimen and as part of a larger fictional ecology.
