Title: Heterotopie

Subtitle: Reflections from a new era of image crafting

Blurb/Shorttext:

Step into the mesmerizing world of "Heterotopie," a captivating collection of Steve McDonald's new era illustrations. Steve's work is crafted through a unique blend of traditional, digital, and diffusion (AI) tools. Each piece invites you to explore mysterious realms that exist beyond the confines of time and space, where reality blurs with the fantastical and the familiar transforms into the extraordinary.

Heterotopia is a concept elaborated by philosopher Michel Foucault to describe spaces that are somehow "other": disturbing, intense, incompatible, contradictory, or transforming. Heterotopias are worlds within worlds, mirroring and yet upsetting what is outside.

In this forward-thinking anthology, you will encounter subjects suspended in liminal spaces—thresholds between here and there, now and then. These evocative images challenge perceptions and ignite the imagination, offering a glimpse into a new era of image crafting and new ways to create imagery.

"Heterotopie" transcends the conventional boundaries of art, process, and subject - weaving a narrative that is as enigmatic as it is compelling. Embrace the unknown and embark on a journey through Steve Mcdonald's beautifully elusive 'visual stories' of "Heterotopie."
