Siempre me he sentido atraído por la piscina en mi arte. Metafóricamente, está llena de agua, al igual que nosotros: los fluidos corporales y la limpieza fueron un punto de partida para esta serie actual. "Aquellos que están dentro de la piscina y aquellos que están fuera y los diferentes puntos de vista suelen ser distorsionados, al igual que las opiniones conservadoras de la comunidad gay, y viceversa. Me encanta la distorsión, por lo que es una parte frecuente de mi trabajo y disfruto explorando las formas abstractas que ocurren en entornos acuáticos. Los limpiadores de piscinas zumban trabajando para que el agua esté cristalina, al igual que los medicamentos y la preparación hacen en nuestras venas. La piscina es otro mundo que forma parte del mundo que la rodea, al igual que la comunidad gay es una parte integral de la sociedad en general. El agua en la piscina y nosotros ha sido compartida por cada otro ser vivo desde que el agua se desarrolló aquí, tiene una historia detrás."

I have always been drawn to the pool in my art. Metaphorically, it’s filled with water, and so are we - Body $uids and cleanliness were a jumping of point for this current series. "those who are inside the pool and those who are outside and the different viewpoints and the views are often distorted ones - just like the conservative views of the gay community, and vice versa. I love distortion and so it is a frequent part of my work and I enjoy pushing the abstract shapes that occur in water environments. Pool cleaners hum around working to make the water crystal clear like Prep and meds do within our veins. the pool is another world that is part of the world around it - just like the gay community is an integral part of the overall society. " the water in the pool and us has been shared by every other living being since the water developed here - there is a history to it.
