Right now, the walls of Mortlake & Company are covered with images of witches. Nude figures kneel by cauldrons, wielding skulls and branches. Whiplash lines spiral through enchanted landscapes, suggesting invisible energy fields that may be manipulated with a bit of practice. A large, dramatic charcoal drawing by Maria Dolorosa depicts a winged figure with a clawed foot, a pointed tongue, pendulous breasts, and a vagina lined with monstrous teeth. A smaller ink drawing by Johnny Decker Miller shows a bearded Christ-like character who appears to be getting visions piped directly into his head from a winged celestial disk. His feet float above a dark pit filled with bones and keys, reminiscent of Byzantine illustrations of the Harrowing of Hell.
