Lately,
I’ve concluded that my photographs deal with the confusion of
intimacy;
the
way we use it as a form of expression, trying to communicate
ideas and
emotions
that are beyond language. We
use our bodies, our skin and senses to
say
things that we’re unable, unwilling, perhaps even frightened
to put into words.
The
method changes from person to person…a kiss,
a tattoo, a
pregnancy, an
embrace,
the power of sex to transform and liberate our inner selves, the
use of
sex
to obscure and momentarily erase our true needs and desires.
I make the
images
I do in the hope of understanding the human struggle to be less
alone, or
at
least to be alone together.
