Description Medium: Watercolours
Size: A4

This painting was exhibited (unfinished) as part of my series "Touch & Technofetish" for the group show SEXSELLS: Observations of an Eroticised Consumer Culture. Here's the Tumblr: sexsells2012.tumblr.com/

It accompanies "The Height of Pleasure", and also deals more organically with physical stimulation and sensory pleasure, and the common forms used to express these sensations.

It was interesting hearing people's interpretations of this one As there was a feminine representative in the other painting, people assumed this would be the male equivalent. This led to some pretty imaginative conclusions, including one horrific cross-section scenario that I'll detail no further...

Anyway, this began as male and still has a spermy vibe in some places, but it morphed into something very genderless and more about sensation, perception, and stimulation as part of a mechanised system . The circle motif took on symbolic representation of an egg, then a cell, then an eye.

Yada yada yada, it's just funky and colourful. Haha.

This is the last one from that series, hope you like it

This is a cool picture! I love the colors!

I see a penetrated ovum but with all the branches stemming from the center give me the impression of an abstract representation of a brain.

Wonderful! That's really cool. Yeah at one stage the "branches" were just "tails"

Thanks! I'm curious: do you see anything in particular when you look at it or just abstract shapes? Either is cool

I'm not sure why, but I feel like it looks like a cell. Maybe I'm just very tired XD
I do love it though.

At first I saw an eye. But I'm not sure if I see it anymore. Maybe it was the shape that caused me to see that.
Lovely either way.

It could very well have had a final touch of eyeness Particularly in the almond-like shape formed by the surrounding colours.
