Furthermore, I found a few pics of architecture that fits some of the ideas that have been tossed around. These are temple and sculptural models that I found fantastic.

McFarlane and Barker

Way back in 2001 artist, sculptor, and master action figure crafter, Toddd McFarlane teamed with Clive Barker to create a line of horrifying figures known as "Tortured Souls".

Link to official gallery and site here.

These images play with the ideas of danger, fear, power, duality, and a sensation of "Should this exist? Should I be here?" that we touched on in the production meeting.

Moving Pictures

For some fantastically offbeat reason, music videos to Tool are laden with images and ideas we've discussed as important, thematically and aesthetically, to the production. Because of this: imbedded video.

Tool: "Sober"

Ideas of escape into a dangerous realm and self discovery.

Tool: "Jambi"

Twinship, and dual entities

Tool: "Parabola"

Awakening, self discovery amidst completely alien environment

Links to Barker Galleries

With Clive Barker being so readily accepted into our cannon of research, a few wonderful galleries have popped up showcasing massive amounts of his original artwork.

Gothic Images

In keeping with the idea of melding Gothic architecture with the Barker research, here are a few I've been looking at for their indicative Gothic nature and somewhat sharp, grotesque beauty.

Ideas tossed around in the production meeting also pointed to treating the fairies as sculpture. Here are some ideas of the treatment of the humyn figure within architecture and sculpture from French high Gothic and [armor] Germanic influences.

The link to the site for the armor can be found here.
