Pillow Talk is a portfolio of soft ground etchings named after a colloquial phrase suggesting intimate communication happening in bed, post-coital and naked in its honesty. Each print is a literal impression of both a gesture and a pillow case. Print’s visual language of reproducibility, multiplicity, and permanence is a foundation of my visual explorations. The works reflect my sentimentality towards physical connection over words within my relationships, particularly the way that a single touch can lovingly communicate ease, care, and yearning.
