In Creation(s), tiny humanoid figures slowly come to life after being touched by a god-like hand within the picture plane. In various stages of transition, they pry themselves from a pool of primordial paint ooze and enter three dimensions. These bright colourful creatures help each other crawl up the canvas and then wander away to explore the world. Some were born not on the canvas but from the tools of the trade, and these too crawl from their birthplace. Though they remain motionless in reality, they provoke empathy from us and we imagine or desire that they do live and move.
