"This series of paintings involves the senuality and seductiveness of meat. I have worked in meat rooms at supermarkets, as both a clerk and apprentice meat cutter, long enough to see the aesthetic values in a wide range of cuts of meat. As an 'artist/meatcutter' I recognized the necessity for meat to be abstracted in order to be swallowed, therefore, it was natural for me to objectify meat and approach it with the same focus as my other still-life objects. I found it most enjoyable to work with subject matter that attracted a diverse audience consisting of vegetarians and carnivores alike."
