Larkin summons the creatures of land, air, and imagination to map the internal landscape of the mind.  Chimeras, Gorgons, rabbits, and other creatures come together with humans to inhabit a world of dreams and nightmares.  Personally symbolic, his work requires the willingness to give into the first impulse to identify with the imagery. Like a mad scientist, he combines personal symbols and biology as he explores the relationships between different organic forms.   

Larkin works in mixed media, combining drawing and painting with sculptural inclusions, found objects, and fiber.  His draftsmanship in 2-dimensions is complemented by the organic mazes of crocheted fibers worked around or into the surface of each piece.
