Chen and I met on the telefone party-line (chat) when i was 34 years old and still was in a relationship with women and men. Chen was the first love that helped me solidify my sexuality. This connection lasted 5 intense months. The duration of our relationship was filled with all the trappings of first love.
In the series of paintings that depict this excitement that we did everything together, peeing, bathing, eating, sleeping, etc..... all together.
I painted all these paintings from the perspective of me looking from the outside. I can't never depict myself. This serves as a kind of disconnect for me from the subject matter that I am trying to depict.
