ARTISTS STATEMENT
I think as a young woman I have gone through many stages of learning to love myself. I have always loved being naked and felt comfortable taking my clothes off for and in front of people. I've always found the naked body so beautiful and intriguing. I remember as a very young child I would always take a sneaky perv at all the girls and women in the change room, I couldn't help myself I just thought female body was so mesmerising and beautiful. As an artist I have found myself becoming more attracted to art projects that involve nudity. Recently I did a nude dance project with 7 other people both male, trans and female. Being naked in a room full of 7 different naked bodies that came in all shapes and sizes was life changing for me. I definitely left with a deeper sense of self love and appreciated for how different yet truly wonderful we all are.
