Day: 41 "I Don't Want To Be":
There are many philosophies about the practice of bondage, from mildly playful to sexually gratifying to a means to altered states of consciousness. For the most part, I find it a disturbing and extreme solution. I imagine most practitioners as having a broken sense of self worth and need to punish themselves emotionally.
I felt the stark lighting and posture of the head to perfectly convey this viewpoint. On a technical note: I've been wanting to explore some low light, black on black type paintings involving leather and latex and chrome. I'll likely do more. - Tom
