A stunning depiction of visceral truth: This second edition of the celebrated art book by Lauren Marx includes a new cover, an expanded sketchbook section, and a new introduction by the artist.

Fungus blooms and dies, bones weather, and moths form halos around dismembered animals in this darkly exquisite collection from acclaimed artist Lauren Marx, now celebrated in a second edition! With an impressive eye for detail, Marx brings her uncanny subjects to life—or death—with awe-inspiring texture and intensity. Birds, beasts, fish, plants, and more unfurl radiantly on the page in their cycle of birth and destruction.

This second edition of the celebrated collection features new cover art, an expanded sketchbook section, and an all-new introduction from the artist herself.
