ABOUT THE WORK
MYSTICAL UNICORN transforms an iconic medieval tapestry of a unicorn in captivity into an otherworldly vignette. Enclosed in a ring of security checkpoints, this mythical creature is trapped by technology. Inspired by the famous series of tapestries known as the Hunt of the Unicorn, Monaghan draws from its use of pagan imagery and references. By re-imagining these ancient mythologies and symbols, Monaghan provides a modern mythical narrative for the digital age.
