Molly Schafer's work offers a playful, yet enigmatic possibility for scientific and mythological conjecture. Her work's portrayal of female centaurs, hunters and warriors is a conflation of both scholarly feminist myth and pop culture, taking reference from both literary theory and Xena Warrior Princess.

Her quasi-pre-historical, romanticized narratives create a dramatic record of desire and aggression that questions the boundaries of gender, species, and self-identification. Through drawings, video and sculpture, she collapses time and space to create a narrative across eras that explores the mutability of biological form.
