If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Video

About my artwork: In order to address conflicting social-sexual issues, I depict figures in negotiation over erotic spaces. My scenes depict BDSM, LGBTQI individuals, and zoophilia. Broadening representation of "outsider" images of a sexual narrative furthers empathy and license for these underrepresented images and individuals. My sources range from handpicked images from the sexological research center, the Kinsey Institute, to work with close friends, and Internet porn.

Interests: Discovering the relationship between sexual, emotional, and spiritual freedoms.

You seem to be somehow artistically related to another erotic artist on artreview I do like: Sophi.....
Both very cutting edge in your chosen subjects.
(PS you seem to know Sophi, I was unable to leave a comment on her page, some technical glitch, I think...
