Her illustrated characters seem to be lifted from creatures in folklores \u2013\u00a0deep, dark and mysterious. Amy explains the hidden messages behind a few of them over on her <a href=\"http:\/\/catewigs.livejournal.com\">blog<\/a>, and here&#8217;s a statement on her collection aptly called <strong>Grotesque<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><em>My images are inspired by a drive to articulate a language that can describe the land of sunken cities dreaming, beyond the veil of daytime reality. I derive my imagery from unconscious embarkations to such shadowy shores of dream from which I bring back fragmented narratives that I hope will resonate with daily anxieties and fears. I am obsessed with the notion of memory, identity, and the grotesque nature  of the human being interacting with time, the cosmos, and the being &#8216;within&#8217; the essence of things.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Deep?
