Multifaceted Illustrations by Madison Shackell-York are Puzzles

Madison Shackell-York’s multifacted images are the kind best enjoyed when you’ve looked at them for longer than a second’s glance. They’re rich in compositional depth and use layer upon layer of symbolism and visual metaphors. At first, the overall illustration might look confusing. But, when you spend time with it – dissecting what each part of the image might mean – it’s like piecing together a puzzle. And puzzles are fun!
