Wanting to explore the limits of what I am capable of doing with form and color, I enlisted the help of my friend, renowned Denver, Colorado fetish artist SLIM The Living Cyborg, and got to work. SLIM was kind enough to let me scour through promotional and personal photos to find the poses which caught my attention. I decided on this particular piece to limit myself to the torso, taking my inspiration from couture, I cut it as one would fabric when tailoring a suit. The sun-like centerpiece is a paper wasp nest, which I treated with Liquitex.
