The Jungle That I Am marks an exquisite new high point in the long arc of Nina Alexanders distinguished artistic career. This new publication highlights a recent collection of her vivid pastel drawings (2019-2021) all reproduced in full color that follow on an insightful essay looking at earlier decades of work preceding these images chronicled here for the first time as a collection in high resolution. The 90-page digital book reveals a colorful dream-driven mythos:

Symbols from the depths of fantasy worlds and mythology animate metamorphic forms. Hints of folk, outsider and indigenous art are conveyed with fluent lines and vibrant colors. There are manifestations of a powerful unconscious drive and pan-cultural erudition in these luminous, festive works.

-excerpt from Gordon McConnells essay A Dream World Bestiary
