There's something intrinsically horrifying about seeing the familiar mutated, spliced and perverted. Caitlin Hackett, Robert Bowen and Dave Correia's work certainly has this shock factor in common. The three artists, who are showing together in "Dark Matters" at San Francisco's Bash Contemporary on May 31, look to nature as their inspiration. But rather than depicting butterflies and daisies, their work collectively alludes to a world that's been polluted, mined, stripped of its forests and impregnated with nuclear waste.
