The exhibit original Machine Sabbath exhibit consisted of paintings, drawings, sculptures and photographs that have a heavy noir expression on the erotic imagery.

The LeVine gallery summary called it:

Ashley Wood applies an expressionist approach to erotic imagery. His female subjects and their surrounding environments are partially obscured and fragmented by extreme contrasts in light and shadow. Wood’s vigorous painting technique combines multiple layers of oil, acrylic and glazes, resulting in a painterly quality and high-gloss, drippy aesthetic.

IDW also said that the art book will include never before seen paintings, sketches and an interview with Wood.
