EXPOSURES MADE IN CO-CREATION

• • •

Out of the darkness, illuminated by a bursting caress of light, comes an offering of mystery, sensuality, and spirit in a celebration of Eros. This project's  genesis coincided with my study of Tantric lovemaking traditions which teach that sexual energy rests in no single place, rather manifests throughout the body from one's eyes, mouth, breath, heart, feet, and hands to be exchanged in intimate union. In a room filled in darkness and no directions given, the veil of objectification and self-consciousness falls away. Then, as couples or individuals hold a light source and I an open-shuttered camera, exposures are made in co-creation, as in Tantric sharing.
