FETISH

Acrylics on canvas 36 x 48 inches 2011

I’ve always wondered how certain fetishes came to be and what drove certain minds to push certain cultural limits to where they are. When did latex and PVC become a symbol for naughtiness and sexual abandon? The word Fetish comes from the 15th century Portuguese word feitico, meaning “charm, or to charm”. Could this be a false power? Nowadays, fetish involves the transfer of power from an original source onto a substitute. A fetishist is someone who operates outside the circle of what is usually considered normal. I ask who is it that decides what is considered normal and why? Can fetish be a pseudonym for extreme creativity!
