Frankenstein's Monster

Ancient Roman sculpture was a big influence in this re-imagining of Frankenstein's monster, as I felt it fitted well with the aesthetic ideals of great beauty and perfection that Frankenstein set out to achieve. I also liked the idea that the marble-like skin, as well as being beautiful also makes the creature cold and deathly. The creatures bond has become its weapon, echoing the turning of tables of beauty and aspiration to horror and dread. Lastly, he is genderless, with no indication of birth or means to reproduce, symbolising both his initial childish purity of spirit and body, and his eternal condemnation to separateness from humanity and a life alone.
