                                                    In each piece, XO & The echo, a curious finger reaches out to poke the surface of the painting, setting off a chain of events. 
The echo takes a tiny moment: a hot red finger pokes a nipple or a pond or a pool of wet blue paint. As it pokes, it mimics.
Both of these pieces are driven by sensations of titillation and longing, each caught in an ever repeating loop of reaching out to touch yourself and getting in your own way.
