I keep what I want in the distance in front of me. I see it, I try to reach it, I need to grab it, to take it. Keeping physical desire out of reach also moves me to make, to speak in metaphor, to learn without tasting and to love without expectation. In my current work I am expressing a personal acceptance of my desire to procreate, and the will decide how the interpretation of an emotion called “love” will shape the way that I choose a mate.
