About the Artwork:
“Two creatures, both alike in dignity: ‘Bodies in Our Wake’ is, simply put, a love story. I’ve always felt drawn to the romance and tragedy of monsters who find their power and, conflictingly, imprisonment, in the night hours. It seems that it would be a very lonely life indeed. I wanted to think of a time where, maybe, a werewolf and a vampire find unexpected solace in each other; where darkness becomes not only a shroud for survival, but a sweet respite from longing.” – Dory Whynot
