Abstract Anatomy: Lilies of the Valley

by Ebony Fernandez

Pleasure in Full Bloom

This path started innocently enough. I closed my eyes and imagined what my pleasure looked like. I couldn’t escape the image of a perpetually blooming flower. For some time I was buried beneath my life. I was buried in that darkness to emerge in this light.

I am perpetually undone in my becoming 

I understand why everything must die to be reborn.

How everything must burn to bring forth new life. 

The magical collaboration between what never was and what could be fuels my erotic adventuring throughout life. I’ve begun imagining my erotic declarations until they flow from me and to me.

Now, I chronicle a blend of fact and fiction with the freak that likes to come out at night. This has birthed some of the most delicious scenarios, ripe with inspiration. 

As I experience my sensual self more intimately. I encounter that part of myself more often. Quite frequently I am literally bearing witness to some part of nature that is just as erotic as I am.

Here I have included a couple pieces from a collage series I’ve been toiling away at called Abstract Anatomy: Lilies of the Valley.

Funny story, while working on this at my office job an older woman caught an upside down glimpse of one of my collages and asked, “is it a flower?” I laughed and said “it’s a vagina.”She turned away in disgust to which I replied “I guess it is sort of a flower”. She laughed nervously.
