HOLD HEAD

1993. Digital picture by Chris Wayan


This started purely as an exercise in dramatic figure-drawing, but shifted round into an exorcise in guilt (with an O. My guilt gets PLENTY of exercise thankyouverymuch). Painting often slides me into truths more dangerous than I expected and this was one.


Standing, a naked girl sitting before me. Words: I want to pull her head to me. But I feel bad, selfish, even if she wants to! I've heard women say 'I feel guilty asking lovers to lick me, like I'm smelly dirty ugly.' Do any boys but me feel this about their cocks? 'She can't really love to...' Or is it... 'She can't really love ME!'
