Part of the *Deviant: Women, Sex & the Monstrous* Erotic exhibition and publication in collaboration with writer Tracy Heather Johnson, *Magician* is a meditation on survival, transformation, and the body as both a site of violence and resilience. The spine, exposed and raw, carries the weight of pain, damage, and irrevocable change—yet the figure’s expression is not one of despair, but of something else entirely.
There is a quiet reverence here, a suggestion that scars do not simply mark what has been lost but also what has been endured. The body cannot always be neatly sutured back together, but it can be carried forward, accommodated, transformed. The figure does not turn away, nor does she hide. Instead, she holds herself with a steady, knowing presence, unafraid to acknowledge the past while refusing to be defined by it.
Inspired by Tracy Heather Johnson’s writing, *Magician* speaks to the shifting nature of relationships—not only with others but with our own bodies, our own histories. It is a reckoning with change, with the truth that we are no longer what we once were, and yet, we remain. There is bravery in this—a refusal to turn pain inward, a rejection of shame, and the assertion that survival is not just possible, but powerful.
Each print is carefully reproduced to capture the intricate details and luminous textures of the original, making it a powerful and evocative addition to any collection.
