Play With Me is an invitation. The work delves into the levels of intimacy from the sensuous to the grotesque. The skeleton sits naked, devoid of any flesh, skin or organs. The sexual zones of the anatomy we associate with pleasure are missing from its body, it is physically empty. Though unable to feel any form of pleasure or comfort, it still begs the viewer to touch, to experience, to connect, in an almost infantile manner.
The bare bones covered with fur lure the viewer with the promise of sensuous contact. Though its body is soft to touch, its temperature is cold, and its bones are hard, it is tantalizing yet wretched to behold. Our experience of intimacy is thus confused. This work attempts to open our awareness of our bodies and the levels to which we experience the pleasure of intimacy.
Will you play with me?
