To those who are worried about.. sex..

“Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can't vent any anger against them. I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere, in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence. They were only taught to look one way when many ways exist.” 
 Charles Bukowski

degree show catalogue statement

My work is not about shocking people, it's about encouraging them to look a little closer at something that has the capacity to repel, and take the opportunity to see something lovely, delicate and precious. It's about questioning your initial response - trickery with glitter.

I work from hardcore porn images, but also draw elements of the body from life, and fragment them on vast white backgrounds to encourage the imagination of the viewer.
