In Gibson’s series, she attempts to understand the complexity of human pleasure. Through the examination of the deeply personal she works to comment on the universal. By making herself and her subject vulnerable she speaks to the contradictory nature of pleasure. Sometimes, the most pleasurable things in life are not what you’d think they’d be.
