The title of this project, “The Philosophical
Bordello” was the name first given by the French poet, Apollinaire, to
Picasso’s famous work, “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon”, a title I appropriated
while working in a studio on Avinyó street in Barcelona. With this series I was
interested in creating sexually charges images that reflect on the circle of
life and death, with sexuality as the eternal force. This series is an
exploration of the use of sexual energy as a spring-board for larger
creative and intellectual explorations, and it’s undeniable connection to the
forces of creation on a universal plane.
