My hope is that the work is in some way counter-pinup. A pinup asks you to suspend interest in who the person is and occupy yourself entirely with looking at the body and fantasizing about what you could do with that body, completely ignoring how the person might feel about it.

No two people take on the information of being admirable and being admired in the same way.

There's no particular evidence that any of the lower mammals or any of the other animals have any interest in aesthetics at all. But Homo sapiens does, always has and always will.

I'd rather get back to making art than talk about it.

Before, I'd photograph anything. I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body.

But the truth is that Homo sapiens is a sensual species. I think all species are, to one degree or another.
