Meet Cherry: she's the young adult version of a living baby doll, a cross between a Cabbage Patch Kid and Daria. She's adorable, but you know she has some dark secrets. We have two more days together, Cherry and I, and then she'll be deconstructed into something different, a reflection of myself. That's what goes down between the models and me. They offer me a piece of myself that I have either forgotten about, neglected, or never fully realized. While she's nude, I too am exposed, as I create a version of herself in front of her. When I take the sculptures apart, and then put them back together again in my paintings, I'm exploring that minute relationship that existed over 30 days: a connection that evenutally breaks down but never completely. Our correlation carries on in the art, which, while not permanent, does its best to capture that moment. This is my process for now.
