A black and white triptych containing, from left to right, a drawing of a hand with two of the fingers shaded in, an x-ray of a forearm, and a photograph of a young girl. The young girl is facing to the right of the frame and is screaming. Lobster claws have been painted over her hands. The text under the triptych reads “Fig. 30. Hemimelia: terminal, paraxial, central.”
Animal
A photograph of a museum exhibit in Estonia to which Sunaura Taylor contributed work. Two white benches can be seen, as well as language printed on the wall, and a glass case containing two unidentifiable books.
Beasts of Burden
A self-portrait of Sunaura Taylor on the right side of the frame, while on the left side of the frame, in a similar stance, is a large gray manatee. Both seem to be floating underwater.
Drawings & Paintings
A painting of a dumpster filled with hundreds of small yellow chicks stacked atop one another, such that the dumpster only appears on the right side of the frame, where one of its walls can be seen, dark and imposing. In the bottom left of the frame, atop some of the chicks, which are mostly loose in the dumpster, is a plastic waste bag filled with more dead chicks.
Factory Farms
An Installation shot of several pages of Snurd, Sunaura Taylor’s in-progress graphic novel, hung up on a wall. Details are difficult to make out.
Graphic Novel (in-progress)
A drawing of an aquifer in pen and watercolor on brown paper, as imagined by Sunaura Taylor. Cloud-like lines of water connect to one another, reaching from the bottom-right corner of the image up to the top-left corner. Midway through their movement to the top-left of the frame the lines of water become arms with hands resembling the hands of humans with arthrogryposis. They reach up and past one another toward the top-left, where the roots of an unseen tree  stretch down toward them, straining to reach one another, falling short.
Speculative Aquifers
A watercolor picture of five yellow-gold power wheelchairs on the gray-blue surface of the moon. It is unclear if the wheelchairs are in motion or static, but they seem self-possessed; in the top third of the picture the moon bends over the horizon, revealing the stars beyond it.
Wheelchairs
An image of a herd of Musk Ox huddled together on the left side of the frame, facing right. They stand in a snow-covered plain. Most of the background of the picture is taken up by the sky, which is gray-blue. On the right side of the frame, facing the musk ox, is a self-portrait of Sunaura Taylor.
