Lust & Loss
Lust & Loss explores the tension between desire and consequence — the moment attraction turns into vulnerability. The figure is presented unapologetically exposed yet emotionally guarded, embodying the duality of control and surrender. It captures the fragile balance between wanting and losing, power and consequence.
This artwork is created entirely by hand from start to finish. The artist redraws the composition freehand for every burn — never traced, never mechanically transferred, never copied. Even when revisiting the same subject, each execution develops its own variations in line work, depth, and texture, ensuring every finished piece is a singular physical work.
Burned into solid basswood using a handheld wood-burning tool, this piece required over 25 hours of focused, uninterrupted labor. The natural grain of the wood actively influences the final result, interacting with each burn line in ways that cannot be controlled or repeated. This is not a print or reproduction — it is an original wood-burned artwork permanently etched into the surface.
Offered in a 12” × 18” format and available with White, Black, or Brown framing, Lust & Loss carries a bold visual presence suited for private collections, studios, or gallery environments. It invites confrontation rather than comfort.
