Clive Barker: “Killing for the Root is an alchemical image. It belongs with a series of alchemical images I did in black and white for The Illusions Suite. The idea of the picture being cut in half so you have two wounding forces, mutually wounding forces, on the top side. And on the night side of that, something which is either a very early foetal form of a human being or a late foetal form, that is a post-human form, on the lower half.” Link to full interview with Clive.
