The Fossil Follies Exhibition is an all-ages collection of paintings exploring themes of social anxiety using a cast of dinosaur archetypes inhabiting a fictional Belle Époque-era environment. The series employs the mythology of these extinct behemoths to explore the mental burden of an unspecified impending cataclysm through the mechanisms of humour and hindsight.
