These set of drawings from the series Stages in Return that I Did Not Want are of an internal monologue of a cyborg in love. The cyborg could not recollect what the monologue was, it only remembered how it felt, and "feeling" was alien to it. It thought of its body, what responses the body had to its current condition, and how memory shaped what it felt. In this case, feeling something was to disintegrate.

These drawings are a part of our ongoing show A Voyage of Seemingly Propulsive Speed and an Apparent Absolute Stillness.
