"Pleasure Mapping" uses repetitive mark making, abstracted human forms, and spots of hot pink paint to explore memory, sensuality, discomfort and pleasure. This drawing series was inspired by bodily memories I had while reading Roxanne Gay's book "Difficult Women." I recommend this book with caution, especially if you have a history of trauma or abuse as it is a collection of short stories and flash fiction that provides a counter to the trope that "our trauma makes us stronger." Sometimes our trauma is just traumatic.
