Statement

These cupids were done following a series of major incidents in my life, which had occured within a short time of each other, years ago. In order to sort out my feelings while I was recovering, I began to study the mythology of Eros, mischevious son of Venus, learning various theories, such as how Cupid was "cutefied" during Victorian times. I read C. S. Lewis's book, Til We Have Faces, which does not leave out the darker aspects of the story of Cupid and Psyche.
