Erotica 1992

Editing my overwroughtness, I present “Erotica 1992”. Named after the Madonna Album. Soundtracked to Sleigh Bells, Poppy and Cobrah. Blazened with the mantra “It as a protest not a parade”. My visibility has morphed from Twink - Fashion Bitch - Real Housewife - Belligerent Anarchist. That’s the idea. Fuck the wannabe “fuck boys”, ingrained homophobia, embracement of feminine sexual indignation, ending in the eroticism of oil paint. Less internalized and self imposed anger, more brazen anarchy and martyrdom.

Possibly the most erotic, sensual and sexualized experience of my life.

Evoking Art Nouveau, Abstract Expressionism, Post Expressionism, Post Modern and Pop Art.

Influenced by Edvard Munch’s nude bathers and self portrait in hell, Marina Abramovic “art should be disgusting, art should ask the right questions and art should change the world”, Robert Mapplethrope’s cruising photography.
