I have started making paintings that relate to drinking, this is not about alcohol, but relates to alcohol in some way. It is more about ingesting liquid, thirst, desire.. the mouth / vessels. The mouth as something that talks, sings, but also eats, consumes has has sex. The mouth as the entrance or exit to internal fantasy. Someone climbs inside, or out. It is slippery, wet, and fast. A vista passing out of view. Embarrassed but joyful about doing.
