About the Crossroads of Curiosity

The Crossroads of Curiosity is comprised of four individual paintings, together they are epic in the sweep of inter-related themes. Originally created for Burning Man 2014, Normal used Victorian Era book illustrations exclusively from the digitised collection of the British Library to create the artwork. Beginning as black and white collages, the four pieces were developed into 8’ x 20’ (2.5 x 6 m) lightbox murals that were arrayed around the base of the Burning Man effigy to support the 2014 festival’s theme, “Caravansary”.
