Artist Statement

This body of work explores myths and

  perceptions of sexuality .

Imbedded in the works are fragments of text from Marcia Woodruff poem, which is published in the book

When I am Old I will Wear Purple.

"We are Real," you say, and so we are
Standing here in our simple flesh
Where on our complicated histories are written.
Our bodies turning into gifts
At the touch of our hands.
