Given: The Curiosity

by Tim Guthrie

Mixed Media $3000

I am a mixed media artist who works in a variety of media. Much my work is interactive and somewhat voyeuristic. The viewer must physically interact with the work in order to peer into the subject matter’s life and gain knowledge of his/her personal world. This piece, which is also interactive, allows the viewer to literally become a voyeur or peeping-tom. The act of admiring the nude form has a long history, as does 3-D softcore pornography. This specific piece explores that idea. It was originally created for "XXXposed" which is an annual exhibit in Reno, NV. The annual exhibitions utilizes exotic dancers of the region as well as various other models related to the project.
