The Woman

I think I want the woman-half of my Chimera to look like a mix between Michelle Pfeiffer and Lauren Bacall. They both have beautiful, yet seductive faces. I think they will be more than appropriate for my Chimera. I may lean more on the side of Michelle Pfeiffer, though.

What to Avoid in Developing Anglerfish Chimera

I realized a few days ago that my idea for a Chimera that is half woman half anglerfish could get a little tricky. More because I don't want my chimera to end up looking like Mileena from Mortal Kombat. I don't think this will happen, but I want to be careful nonetheless.

Artist Statement From Fall Review

Piece: “Chimera”

“There are 12,500 known species of ant in existence. Ants function by building colonies that can occupy large territories and contain millions of individuals. In fact, ants have colonized almost every landmass on Earth. Ant societies have division of labour, communication between individuals, and an ability to solve complex problems. These parallels with human societies have long been an inspiration and subject of study.”
-Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant#cite_note-SANdisk-8)

With this understanding of the commonality between ants and humans, I have often wondered: What if this commonality extended to the physical body? A more human ant, or a more ant-like human? What would this being be like, combining the ant's physical strength with the human's ability to manipulate its surroundings? The ant's sense of community with the human's creative individualism? The result is the “Chimera”.


(I plan to elaborate on this statement for my project as a whole)
