Simple Pleasures and Indulgences was from two solo exhibitions held in NYC in 1992 and 1994 - the works was a series inspired by several trips abroad to England and France. All of us enjoy simple pleasures: and in this busy world, simple pleasures have become an indulgence. These indulgences range from sleeping/dreaming, chocolates, coffee, sex, and simply enjoying life.
