cannibal licks tricks stuffed sticky body undone untouched mutate to escape by the skin of our teeth

Mariette Moor’s interdisciplinary practice holds drawing, clay and writing at its core, operating as modes of storytelling that tease at the uncanny peripheries of horror and their relationship to boundaries, absence, and control. Moor imagines ‘world fracturing’ as a methodology to mix the mundane, fantastical and paranoid into psychological scenes, questioning the nature of reality and sanity. Tenderness and violence coexist in speculative bodies and spaces which confront the complexities of intimacy.
