This body of work is a sincere ode to longing and the beauty of mens bodies, but it also contains small jokes, ideas about history, references to our relationship to photography, and some formal and painterly ideas about the physical and sensual quality of the pieces themselves. The project is about mens bodies seen through a womans eyes - the womans gaze - the mans body - the body as landscape with hills and valleys to roam. The collages are made from old Playgirl magazines combined with American landscape photographs, also taken from vintage magazines. The paintings and drawings are based on my own photographs.
