Just like Batchelder's 2015 publication Tideland, Creatures depict nothing more than small sections of beach, which, in theory, every vacationer could see. But he sees what nobody sees. As a practiced observer, David Batchelder enters a world of dreams, of the strange and the non-rational, in order to encounter faces, ghosts, angels, or terrestrial and extraterrestrial forms in this world beyond the real. He invites viewers to use the photographs as projection surfaces for their own worlds of imagination.
