CONSUMED

A series of large scale monochrome paintings that use Victorian pornography as source material. The ‘performers’ now playing roles as Erotes (Greek mythology) in a tableau vivant. The pictorial space created by its subjects dividing or multiplying out of themselves. Carnal fractrals of self obsession and desire.
