And so I attempted to capture that emotion onto paper. If the erotic can sometimes conjure up bold and intense imagery, I find the subject more soft and sensual. But most of all, the erotic arises from the adornment of the body and how as humans we are drawn towards decorating our bodies to express our sexuality.
