Material lozenges, like rubies collected in video games, become desirous objects for their blank fungibility, accruing value through a repetition proving the intention of its gestures. Charging touch with value. An artwork so satisfyingly soft-core materialist it feels libidinal. Pleasure in things bare and touching with erotic palpate, shaped and soothed and inlain in lascivious exhibitionism, lain with cleave exposed, flayed like slabs of meat butterflied onto floor's blonde butcher-block soaking pink juice from the flanks, the pleasure of it all raw, vacant, there, exposed - and pierced with navel’s jewel making nudity fill with meaning.
