incubation

[2003 - 2004]

artist statement:
​
Here lies a juxtaposition of soft and sharp visual elements. I'm interested in how the mind responds to it. By protecting vulnerable female forms with sharp objects of phobia, I am experimenting how these pieces are visually consumed. Forms of desire call to be touched, while the factor of danger guards and warns. How does this affect the gaze and perception?​

During the period of conception for this project in my life, I was having a bit of an insomnia spell. The models were styled in positions which I found I could fall asleep and overcome the insomnia, one night at time. ​
​
The pieces developed within major shifts in my life. My young and curious mind was developing. The result is unknown during the process. Elements come together. Images develop. A new idea incubates.
