My hope is that the images will resonate differently for each viewer and that they will suggest the interconnection between the senses and how we experience them. I have contrasted the richness of the five symbols and surrounding area with a stark black, white and grey frieze of visceral images of the human body and it’s interior workings. These images are ordered and coded like specimens for study referencing the impulse to analyze, understand and control all aspects of human experience and sensuality.- Jane Kidd
