There is an area of mediaeval thought called Teratology which concerns the study of monsters. The monster being seen as multiple and paradoxical: it is what it is not. It sits on the edge of what can logically be known and understood. The monster becomes a way of exploring the systems and processes which operate on matter and create form in the natural world, particularly within the states of opposition and simultaneity. These are spaces where opposing elements can inhabit the same space, fused and yet separate, formed and yet formless.
