- Shadow puppetsBacklit cut-paper silhouettes in amber light.
- Cross-stitch samplerEvery X is two thread strokes with sheen on even-weave linen. The needle stitches each picture in; a cold blue heart is unpicked and restitched red.
- Old stencil-coloured tarotBlack outlines with flat colour that slips off the lines, on aged card. The camera moves into a card and its picture comes alive in stiff steps.
- Medical textbook platesEngraved anatomy plates in an open book on green baize: a heart with a pump valve, the doctor with his stethoscope, a daisy in a specimen jar.
- Stained glassLeaded panes with painted figures and lead-line outlines. Each window holds a scene; a watering can grows a flower in the desert pane.
- Engraved cut-outs, after GilliamVictorian engravings drawn in code and hand-tinted, on hinged pieces over airbrushed skies. The boss rises like a moon and his lid flips open.
- Hand-coloured emblem engravingCut-outs from 17th-century emblem engravings, washed in blue and rose: a sun-headed man and a moon-headed woman whose hatched roots knot together under the soil. Angels blow trumpets from clouds while engraved birds fly in to the branches.
- Engraved toy theatreEngraved paper players on a stage hung with red velvet: a troubadour sings beside a wheel of medallions, then the curtains part on a blue sky and trumpeting angels. The figures switch between a few drawn poses like puppets.
- Pen-and-pencil diagram plateA real chart drawn as an old hand-coloured plate: fine warm-black pen over light coloured pencil on cream paper, the chart's boxes and bands turned into objects from a small invented world, every word lettered by hand.
