Flesh & Mythos: Body as Bio-Ritual

Across these works, Jay Crane continually returns to the body not as mere vessel but as living ritual—where roots, vines, snakes, and cosmic symbols entwine with sinew, organ, and bone. Whether in fluid washes or fine hatching, flesh bleeds into forest, gland, and galaxy, mapping the terrain of birth, love, suffering, and transcendence. Each piece is a visceral hymn to metamorphosis, inviting us to see our own biology as mythic, sacred, and ever in flux.
