Effigy of the Forgotten

Album cover for Suffocation's 1991 release. 'Effigy of the Forgotten'.
There's allot going on in this painting. Lots of little worlds within the one image, small details that elude to bigger story. The machine is made up from scrap debris and organic matter, collected from the tortured and twisted landscape. Because the machine is also partially organic, it needs to feed on any lifeforms available in order to process the genetic information, and incubate its new breed of life.
