A solo show of 32 new works. Animal illustrations with a common thread. Currently on view at:
Pisticci
125 LaSalle Street
New York, NY 10027
This collection didn’t start out as a predetermined list of animals. As I picked up each piece of paper, I decided which animal would inhabit it. Each drawing influenced the next until a natural theme began to show itself. I work with subjects that are familiar to me, rather than exotic. Familiarity is, and always has been, comforting. It rarely leaves you questioning, like so many abstract pieces, and delivers a feeling that is not only direct, but also easily shared.
Although it didn't start out that way, FAMILIARS ended up being an exercise in introspection. These 32 pieces are facets of myself - they are witchy, sentimental, wild, and personal. Each piece exists as part of a totem, containing something uniquely individual and simultaneously universal. I hope you see yourself in these as much as I see myself.

A collaboration between Tyler Dunning and Matthew Woods:
"GRIM LOVE & ten other tales of the fairy, folklore, and fable variety," is a multi-media zine of flash fiction, macabre illustrations, and audio recordings.
The content touches on issues of love, loss, and sexuality, all while giving a playful twist on some of our best-known folklore. This is a look into Humpty Dumpty’s heartache, Snow White’s dreams, a love affair with the Grim Reaper, and many other reality-bending rarities.
To hear the audio versions visit: grim-love.bandcamp.com
