If there was ever a place you could go to do surgery as a hobby, I would go. But there isn’t.
I cannot simply open up a body and explore shapes, colors, textures and luminosity, or keep a collection of deep sea nudibranches, or make food for the enjoyment of looking at it, then discarding it.
I play with these forms from a physical distance, though they have always been the foundation of my visual language. In my work, they are companions to the creative process, friendly, beautiful, sexual, peaceful, curious.
