The frankenstein art novel introduces readers to mary shelley’s tale of life and death with an emphasis on nature and feminine power. In 1818, frankenstein broke ground by creating space for its readers to interrogate the morals of the day’s emerging sciences. We participate in that tradition by providing a contemporary examination of humankind’s quest for knowledge, the role of women in this strange new world, and the hope and rage of society’s most ostracized.
