“My creatures are called monsters by some, but I often feel that the connotations associated with ‘monster’ don’t always apply to these little guys unless one can add descriptors like ‘vulnerable’ and ‘fragile’ to the definition of monster. Maybe I have issue with the monster moniker because I see my critters as self-portraits. Nick Capasso, director of the DeCordova Museum, once referred to my work as ‘little exorcisms’ and I like that description. The idea that I expel my inner demons in the form of drawn, painted, or sculpted critters appeals to me.” – John Casey
