The "cyborg mutations" are supernatural beings, but Essenhigh makes them accessible to the viewer by giving them familiar names; Yellow Turkey, Thieves or Sunspots. They are violent explosions in contrast to the uneventful background following the tradition of the earliest biomorphs created by Arp, Matta or Tanguy in a surrealist dream.
