"But monsters are restless things. Not only have they moved outward; they have also burrowed into our viscera, into our cells, into those ambivalent spaces within the human frame.
The word ‘monster’ derives from the Latin monstrare (to demonstrate) or monere (to warn). "
Words by co-author of "Planta Sapiens" Natalie J. Lawrence / Partner and special event guest.
