Ariadne (~ bride) / cake - Limited Edition of 3 Photograph

As a tall, skinny, gawky, flat-chested six years old, it was the voluptuous "she" who impacted my subconscious and to some degree, influenced the externalization of the self from childhood onward. Playboy was my mirror. While I was not "she", I could dress (and undress) the part in play and fantasy. Hugh Hefner advertised an American dream of the ideal woman -- be it the girl next door centerfold, or a sexually charged vodka advertisement -- through a primarily male lens for a primarily male audience. “Death, love and everything else” is an ongoing series of images which draw, in part, contemporaneously upon the rawness of sexuality, love and loss while at the same time mining historical elements in art, literature and culture. I am both artist and model. Renaissance drapery as a vehicle of eroticism, frozen emotionality of the nude in Greek sculpture and the words of Catullus interweave to reinterpret flesh, light and sensuality as a description of the body and human condition beyond its surface. Through a subjective female gaze and perspective of self-empowerment, my body is an emotional and quasi-offering upon which the viewer may introspectively confront their own relationship to female-ness, the self and ... death, love and everything else. I am a multimedia artist living in New York City.
