Comment?

The visual of this etching is one of my sketchbook collages, put together from different Italian magazines. I enjoyed etching’s fusion of detailed calculation and science with unpredictable experimetation. It’s like my life.

Skin Trade
Comment?

I was listening to Duran Duran a lot in 1999. I was also not paying much attention in science class that year. This painting came from a science class doodle while I had Duran Duran’s ‘Skin Trade’ in my head. “Would someone please explain / the reason for this strange behaviour / in exploitation’s name? / You must be working for the skin trade.”

I’m So Glad To Grow Older
Comment?

I did this painting coming out of a bad relationship. The title is lyrics from a Morissey song: ‘I’m so glad to grow older / to move away from those awful times / I’m in love for the first time / and I don’t feel bad.’

No Mercy
Comment?

What I liked about this series was that the women in the images were old, not that attractive, but still dressed nicely and wearing makeup. Yet instead of being contrived anti-models (who are fantasy) these women were very real, gritty. Something rarely seen in advertising.

Beg/Act
Comment?

The photo was taken from a Legacy ad against smoking. Obviously they were ill or suffering some kind of smoking-related loss. But without the anti-smoking message, the women’s faces looked like they were experiencing extreme pain or extreme pleasure in this sexual manner. I decided to combine 2 expressive yet ambiguous facial expressions for each painting.

We’ve Got It
Comment?

I had saved these small magazine clippings for about three years, blew them up on a color copier, and also copied my hand on the glass. This piece shows personal themes of media, gender and food, all tied up with red thread.
