Carlos Schwabe's Frightening, Pointing Women
Carlos Schwabe is one of the all time greats, but the bulk of his work isn't much like this very curious, eerie-as-hell series of cloaked, anguished women. They suggest that the viewer them self is complicit in some kind of horror.

BLOOD WORK: Jordan Eagles
Blood, procured from a slaughterhouse, is the primary medium in my
works. Through my experimental, invented process, I encase blood in
plexiglass and UV resin. This preservation technique permanently retains
the organic material's natural colors, patterns, and textures. The
works become relics of that which was once living, embodying
transformation, regeneration and an allegory of death to life.
I use various mark-making methods, including layering the blood at
different densities as well as heating, burning, and aging the material.
Copper, a conductor of electricity, is sometimes mixed with the blood,
imparting a unique, fiery energy. Blood-soaked gauze, stretched over the
surface, creates another textural layer that serves as a map of memory
and homage to ancient wrapping rituals. In some instances, blood that
has decomposed for years forms dense masses that are ground into dust
and tossed into the works, as a sign of passing and change.
When lit, the works become translucent, cast shadows, and project a
glow, appearing as if they are illuminated from within. The materials
and luminosity in these bodies of work relate to themes of corporeality,
mortality, spirituality, and science—invigorating blood as sublime.

Just in case you forgot, here is another reminder that the world couldn't be more strange.
