Artist Statement The inspiration driving my art is the premise that desire is an expression of the divine, and therefor something to exalt and celebrate in all it’s forms. In the same way that a plant turn towards the sun, I believe my desire turns me on to that which nourishes me and makes me grow. The poetry of Rumi has been a big influence on me, it’s shown me that art can simply be praise and an expression of joy and love. One can repeat what’s already been said a thousand times, and the deeper and more sincerely it is expressed, the more it’s value increases. I draw my influences from a wide range of sources both high and low, from mysticism and the occult to folk art, outsider art and indigenous art, from kink and bdsm to yoga, tantra, and the healing arts. My work has a kind of double nature that makes it confusing to define. It is as delicate and innocent as it is dirty and confrontational. Rather than being modest and subtle, I am overt and explicit with the sexuality in my art, but I like to deliver that provocation in the most gentle, graceful and reverential way. I believe eroticism in art can help normalize the natural sexuality that we experience as humans, but yet struggle to find social and cultural acknowledgment of.
