Insolations (selection)
(…) The “Insolations” began one summer, during a low moment. Bodies undressed, or at least partially, minds wandering.

It took about a week or two, depending on the weather, for the exposed parts to turn a beautiful honey color. One time, it rained, and the black masking slobbered! Then winter came and the sunlight was too weak to do anything. So I bought a tanning lamp and continued the series(…).
