Homuncularium and Tertiary Node - Jim Burns

Jim Burns has produced two paintings for a new series of personal work which he's called 'Lost Narratives'. He's used two of his daughters as models - at the top is Gwendolen who's manipulating a small homunculus: "the apprentice feverishly administered the potent mix of refined alien toxins . . . all around her, corridors full of shelves, were the failed experiments of others".

The second image, Tertiary Node, is Megan: "Sheer located the first of the invasive nodal eruptions near the rear of the ship . . . the semi-sentient invader, oblivious to her alarmed presence, appeared to have been seeded at least three days previously, ship-time".
