ARTISTS STATEMENT

Being naked is one of the first liberating feelings we experience as humans. We are born naked - the most natural state - also considered one of the most extreme and shameful states. As judgement, self-loathing and shame is conditioned through and through, such a large majority of Western and modern culture in general, as women, as men, and as humans, we need to reclaim our bodies and our perception. There is an epidemic of shame and inconsideration of our natural state. Reclaim your body, reclaim our species. As an aspiring artist of dramatic performance, music and painting I have realised that much of my self needs to appreciated and accepted by myself - for myself. This is something that, when I realised, I had to kick myself a little bit because it's all anyone ever says when it comes to being a happy, positive, loving entity. In saying that, I would not be here if not for the advice of mentors, idols and people I look up to. Also saying that, I never came close to this realization until I truly told myself and actually believed my own beliefs. Darkness is always there - just light it up ya'll.
