41cm x 41cm oil and mixed media on paper

Cooch Rabbit

This is the first of a series combining animal and human elements on paper rounds. They are crossbreeds in imagery and material.
We interact with the world through our constantly changing evolving bodies from the macro to the quantum level. I focus on sex, sexuality and gender issues as areas of human experience that are often narrowly defined and restricted. My work challenges the boundaries that separate us from our experience, and thus denies the full range of human possibility..

About the artist

Posdam, NY, USA

These works meld the familiar and the strange into hybrid figures. These carnivalesque forms dismantle the false dichotomy of 'normal' vs. 'weird'. They both confront and celebrate.
