"Hot Buttons" is a shadowbox containing six cloisonne and sterling silver buttons. In 2004, I attended the Seattle Erotic Art Festival as the guest of my fellow artist Bill Dawson. As a result of one of our conversations, I was inspired to create this piece, which was accepted into the SEAF 2005 show. Whimsy and the erotic can be happy partners...
