“I Can't Tell If I'm Scared or Horny”

My work recreates the same sensation one would feel when stumbling upon pornographic magazines in the woods. I have always been fascinated by duality and the cyclic nature of the world around us. This duality, the kind that can be found in Georges Bataille's “Erotism”, is created by two dissimilar things that at first appear to be opposites but are in fact one and the same, i.e. death and sensuality. In my case I am exploring the line where scary becomes stupid by exploring the Abject.
