Artist statement...
My take on the theme - TOKEN LOVE was to look at love as an internal insight - the emotional rollercoaster. The way in which you are distracted in your daily duties and the excitment of seeing the other person. Everybody gets nervous and this can give you butterflies in the pits of our tummy. These works are to reflect that idea of how our tummies ties itself in knots at the idea of seeing the other person that you are attracted to.
