The artist Sheri Larsen can be such a surprise; just when you think you have a grasp of her work, this very grounded series of nudes and still lifes, in an Expressionist style, she'll come up with something like this. Strange, sinister, compelling -- what exactly is the nature of this creature, and its hood? The title alone is a poetry prompt. Have a boo at her shop. Not only is it full of art, but Sheri also crafts lovely warm things for winter.
