"Will Sweeney takes the medieval religious imagination as manifested in
the art of Bosch & Breughel as a starting point for his version of
the end of the human race. Depicting the last judgment as a kind of hell
on earth - a slow, intricate apocalypse, sadistic and insane, the
strong preying on the weak, environmental catastrophe and religious
fundamentalism spreading fear and hatred in society. With The
Purposemaker Sweeney creates an allegorical drawing, similar in
composition to one of Hieronymus Bosch's last judgement scenes.
Shanalorm is inspired by a passage in the book The Dancers At The End of
Time, by Michael Moorcock. Shanalorm represents a once sentient city
far in the future, now peaceful and sleeping, the ghostly shells of
decayed buildings have developed strange forms of metal mutation, and
are inhabited only by bizarre creatures."
