Small Pleasures (For Her) (2014)

A scratch work growing out of a brooding, visceral investigation of longing and aggression. Carving the body through a chasm of space left by an absent other, a sense of vulnerability bubbles under a growing pulse of muscularity, desire and questionable masculinity.
