The textures often invite a closer look, beckon people in, and at close quarters the image is often repulsive. <br /><br />The artist enjoys this opposing emotion, and often cultivates this in her work<br /><br />Explicit and Chaste<br />Beautiful and Grotesque<br />Seductive and Repulsive<br />Body and Machine<br />Sex and Violence<br />Honour and Horror<br /><br />'The erotic is a metaphor for anxiety. A lot of people's angst is based on how they relate to other human beings, and a lot of that is to do with attraction and repulsion.'<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7491297155869109596-6957710414821702912?l=nonromantix.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>deccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13634836576274465795noreply@blogger.com0
