Jessie Makinson's *Lunar Thorn* (2019) is an oil on canvas work that immerses viewers in a dreamlike realm of elongated, otherworldly figures rendered in lush, jewel-toned hues. Makinson's signature style weaves together influences from folklore, mythology, and decorative art, creating a dense visual tapestry where organic forms and fantastical characters seem to emerge from and dissolve into one another. The painting exudes a sense of enchanted unease, balancing delicate beauty with an underlying tension that lingers long after the gaze has moved on.
