Love & the Willing Lie focuses on contact as pressure; the insistence of fingertips pressing into flesh, registering weight, proximity, and intent. The hand is not at rest; it acts upon the body it touches, leaving an impression rather than a gesture.
Drawn on grey-toned paper, the work uses controlled tonal shifts to describe compression, gravity, and form. The muted ground allows subtle transitions in value to surface, emphasizing where skin yields and structure holds.
The composition avoids narrative while remaining charged. Intimacy emerges through force held just beneath visibility; not through movement, but through the certainty of touch.
