A tangentially phallic depiction of closeness as experimentation with charcoal. [Belly; Back and butt; Ankles superimposed]

Here, my grainy, rough, and magnified body maps a human-digital emotional landscape, bearing my self-perceived physicality. Not quite anatomically accurate, their topological gradients of texture, light, and recognizability are almost living matter in motion, fluid in their ambiguity. As such, there is a reciprocal relationship between the whole and its parts, and the parts are in constant interaction between themselves, the whole, and the space they take. Our biological and human capacity to perceive is transformed beyond the page, and the pieces, the viewer, and the body transformed into a human-machine interface.
