Tricks Are For Trolls: "Tricks Are For Trolls" was a part of the installation, "bitter-sweet". The cards were meant to be handled. The face side there is an image representing many different personas of the gay life style. The back side had an icon in conjunction with gay personal ads that were found in the back of pornographic magazines.

Trash: "Trash" was a part of the installation, "bitter-sweet". The letters were meant to be handled and explored individually. The inspiration were letters of support and rejection received from friends and family members.

Idiosyncratic Compulsions: Is a set of six prints that were bound together as a postcard book. The inspiration was to share my addictions and passions.

Remembrance: Is a set of six prints that explore the idea of additions that were a part of my past. The text is taken from things that were sold to me as truths when I was a child.
