One thing I’m exploring with these nudes is the unsettling human contradiction of being both a subject and an object. In the case of “Stellar Object”, I depict a human body with simple, elegant curves and rich layers of primary colour to make a kind of beautiful ornament of molten glass. It doesn’t meet your gaze, just sits there like a hot ball of gas, but you can humanize it like we do the sun and stars because we know at some level we are made of the same stuff.
