Her stuff is yes, very dark, and usually rather impressionistic, often macabre (think<em>The Scream </em>by Munch, but through a poorly lit prism), doesn't tend to include blood, but sexuality/sensuality are often contrasted with dark or fearful images.  For example:<br/><br/><br/>One of her better-known works is called<em>O Face</em>. It's based on a photomanip that's been further modified with paint: the face of a very attractive, somewhat andro blonde woman (which may be Eiryn herself, or an old lover, hard to say), clearly in the throes of sexual ecstasy. The face is reproduced over and over, receding into the canvas, finally becoming an indistinct ground. But if one looks carefully, the further away from the viewer, the more the expression on each copy of the face becomes one of fear or even pain. The subject's hair and overall coloring also becomes darker and subtly less human.<br/><br/><br/>It's hard to describe without giving visual examples, which i can't do, being a crap visual artist inreal.  But there's a LOT of erosthanatos in her work (the relationship between love/sex and death), as well as themes of gender melding and confusion, and some nihilistic 'life=pain' sort of vibe. Some of it is disturbing, some of it is arousing, even overtly pornographic (think some of H.R. Giger's stuff). Some of her best stuff is aggressively affirmative: basically a huge 'fuck you' to people who want to define other peoples' gender roles and pleasure zones. None of it is easy, and you will never see any of it on the walls of a chain motel ;D
