I have been exploring ideas of my family’s history, by looking at specific periods in my childhood, and the type of childhood that I shared with my two brothers (our adventures in the woods, video games, building forts, and other “normal” boy activities).  The memories that my brothers and I have created have always represented a certain idea of childhood innocence and self indulgence which I really enjoy.  The ideas of innocence and self-indulgence have intersected at a certain point with my sexuality, combining body aesthetics, fetishism, and meditation with indulgent childhood play.
