| Artist Statement: |
|
A drawing of the human body can be nude, naked, pornographic, erotic, sensual, unclothed or simply the image of a human body. It is amazing that each of us has a skeleton, muscles, organs, glands, blood, skin, hair, hands, feet and brains but know so very little about ourselves. Birth, sex, death, the human body. Why do we hide all that is natural from ourselves? "Sin is in the eye of the beholder". So is beauty.
