drink from me, 2026, single channel video, silicone, expanding foam, dimensions vary
landing on the corner of the mind
pooling liquid drips into a hollow
my umbilicus is stretched and opened
exposing insides to cool air
wet, warm, leaking
they want to leave to make me empty
a groping tongue slides in the spaces
cleaning a film of fluid from wriggling flesh
a bulbous half organoid
sits quietly
pulsing with blood that slowly cools
i have removed you
so that you might fascinate
exhibition text
"...drink from me joyfully pours fluid bodies together as they squeeze, throb, lap, and spill an alphabet of pastes and fluids. It feels radical to be this joyful, this hopeful, this carnal. The defiance is in the pleasure taken in the physical world and in physical connection... it is still radical to talk about women's sexual pleasure, desire and need - and still transformative for women to be the ones behind the camera in the depiction of these states."
