In his lithograph series, James Drake combines an interest in science and the animal kingdom with his striking printmaking technique. The prints depict the delicate outlines of birds and insects against a gothic interior, contrasting everlasting nature with the deterioration of a built environment. The work’s unsettling beauty speaks to the human condition, a recurring theme in the American artist’s work.
