In this selection, the idea of the “collection” is charged through its association with sex. Overtly sexual objects, erotic art pieces, a lover’s hair or even sexual experiences can all be collected. Even the amassing of tattoos, both traditional and erotic, can be considered a process of collecting, as well as an analogous sexual experience, with someone giving and another receiving the art form.
