Certain photographs linger in my mind, accumulating a psychic force far greater in intensity than the initial shock or surprise I experienced when encountering them. Such was the case with the photograph that is my subject. My reaction — fascination mingled with disgust — begged the question: how does one articulate a pleasure that shares equally with revulsion? Where is the language for desire that, upon consideration, makes the skin crawl? Language at this point becomes an act of exorcism, and that casting out pays a curious homage by locating what is not to be borne as inexplicable power
