| These paintings depict an exploration of fantasy and imagination. They are full of contrasts, built up of layers that both hide and highlight. They touch on the always-alluring topic of sex and viewers react to each painting differently as they add their personal layer of dream and fantasy interpretation.
The intricate details echo the chaos of internal musing, and in their complexity and obsessiveness reference the high level of detail and craft of traditional women's art (the sampler, the quilt, the needlepoint). The nudes, pulled from hardcore pornography, reference the traditional nude, the odalisque, but their overt sexuality shocks, disturbs, and titillates. Entwined with them both are intricate and delicate symbols, reflecting an often-confusing internal landscape and external surroundings. The paintings allow the transformation of fantasy and subconscious into the material.
