My work is a combination of erotic-sexploitation with an iconoclastic foundation. It is unapologetically explicit, perhaps jarring at times, and definitely obsessive. I try to condense the raw sexual passion we humans experience into single snapshots. To do this, I designate “quilting points” in each photo that might be represented by an anus, a tongue, an erect penis, a vagina, and/or interplay among them or numbers of them. I move in for medium close ups and tight shots and focus on these points so that the viewer is unable to avert his/her gaze from the centres of gravity that they become of each shot. The use of these quilting points creates an obsessive and excessive quality that sublates the subject matter from pornography back into art: much pornography today is sanitized, detailed, and overly uniformly focused to the point of being pictures of nude professional “porn stars” playing at sex. My work portrays the obsessive nature of particular sexual desires by the foisting of ordinary people’s genitalia “at work” onto the viewer to the point that they act as assaulting tentacles that not only reach out, but also pull the viewer in. My art is not meant merely to “touch” the viewer, but to pull him/her in unexpectedly, to immerse, and overwhelm him/her—like quicksand.
