I hate to reference other creations so frequently but I sincerely feel "Love You To Death" by Type O Negative fitting in the aural space for this visual being. Maybe something to do with the fact that was our song, the love of my life and I, ten years ago. To add to the mystery the singer died on the 10th anniversary of our split. It almost feels appropriate here that there's the number of musicians that birthed our serenade, plus he and I. The impact of this visual is so astounding to me, it's almost pornographic in its realist representation of such an intense all-consuming aspect of existence. I wish I could take this work and expand it to encompass an entire wall in my studio just for the inspiration, the reminder of what our scars tell us, that the magick and erotica and lust and love and pain and epic sacrifices we make or experience, are all very real indeed: that no one and nothing can ever take that away from you, until you take it from yourself.
