From time to time we have the opportunity to showcase the talents of our members. This week, feast your eyes on the photography of John Gillian and ropework of Lochai, who was kind enough to send in these pictures for your enjoyment.

Lochai has been in the public rope art scene for about 8 years (privately, 'bout 30.) He has given workshops on many aspects of consensual power exchange and rope bondage in particular for many organizations including but not limited to TES in NY, PEP in Philadelphia, LINKs in Northampton Mass. Black Rose in Washington D.C. and is the Vice President of S.P.I.C.E in Fort Lauderdale Fl. He is also a moderator for the Adult Rope ARt list, an E-mail list discussion group dedicated to sharing ideas & techniques of Japanese rope bondage.

His rope work, erotica and essays have been published or shown in Prometheus Magazine, Skin II, Equus Eroticus and The Body Archive in NYC.

Over the last few years he has become a student of kinbaku, the art of Japanese rope. He uses as his tools rope, bamboo, a human canvas and his imagination to show the world his inner erotic vision.
