Part of the *Deviant: Women, Sex & the Monstrous* exhibition and publication in collaboration with writer Tracy Heather Johnson, *Splitting on the Vine* explores the fluidity of love, sex, and the dissolution of boundaries between bodies. It captures the moment where selfhood is lost in intimacy—where two bodies merge, entangle, and transform into something new, something unrecognizable yet deeply connected.
The composition pulses with raw energy, as limbs, flesh, and tendrils fold into one another in a state of rapture and rupture. This entanglement is both erotic and unsettling—an act of surrender where identity is forsaken in the heat of desire. The work speaks to the monstrous beauty of love, where bodies break apart, reform, and exist in a state of fluid becoming.
Rendered in raw, fleshy tones with iridescent aquatic hues, *Splitting on the Vine* embodies the uncontrollable, transformative nature of love and sex—where ecstasy, loss, and creation are inseparable.
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.
