ARTIST STATEMENT:

We are always in the act of seduction. I am being seduced by the clothes behind the glass window. I am being seduced by the smell of coffee. I am being seduced by the smell of cut grass. I am being seduced.

And sometimes we all like to seduce. And worse, perhaps we are always in a singular act of seduction with ourselves: caught in a web between our heart and our head.

She’s Such A Dog explores the notion of woman as commodity. As pet. As sexual companion.

The competition to capitalize on desire has never been more furious with pornography rampant on the Internet though for the first time, pornography is available outside a profit system. When artists try to approach sexuality, femininity, desire and sex as a critique and reflection of our own culture from a feminist, non-didactic, confused, genuine perspective…the public is uneasy. I wish to interrogate the depiction of beauty, sexuality and the confusing in-between while maintaining a reflective and humorous perspective.
