Cycle ♂, 2019

Latex, silicone, upholstery foam, laser cut MDF, buttons. 137x115x8cm

Cycle ♂represents the 4 stage model of the male sexual response cycle :

• the Excitement phase

• the Plateau phase

• the Orgasm phase

• the Resolution phase.

In my work a specific color, size and number of buttons are assigned to each phase according to their characteristics.

This piece is inspired by sexologists Masters & Johnson book 'Human Sexual Response' (1966) considered to be the reference of the American sexual revolution in the 60s.
