Jeet Heer on Julie Morstad
:: Posted by Bryan @ 1/14/2008 12:10:00 AM The critic Jeet Heer examines Milk Teeth by Julie Morstad. This collection of surrealist illustrations is part of Drawn and Quarterly's art book series.
If you were forced to describe Julie Morstad's drawings in a few quick words "subdued, languid creepiness" might do the trick. Subdued and languid: no matter how macabre the situation her characters find themselves in they never scream, their almond-shaped eyes vacantly stare out at their bizarre predicaments, and an air of genteel languor, as at an Edwardian tea party, hangs over every scene. Creepiness: insect and snakes crawl everywhere, limbs have a way of mutating into odd shapes (often looking like the furry squirrel tails), heads are frequently detached from bodies.
