ARTISTS STATEMENT
I feel I have to reacquaint myself with my own body. Not how others see it or react to it, but how I know myself. I enjoy being within my own body, experiencing things through it, more often than not I like certain parts of it and accept it as a whole. It's important I don't feel it defines me, but that it's not a suit for a brain either. I feel like I've achieved the perfect balance and we're good friends now.

currently living in: Melbourne, Australia.
occupation: Writer.
age: 28.
height: 5'0".
weight: 53kgs.
relationship status: Single.
starsign: Sagittarius.
biggest passion in my life: Writing, especially about what I hate, even more about what I love.
I like to listen to: the sound $2 coins make when you drop them together, my pulse when I lean on my arm long enough.
I like to watch: paper burn, birds hop around in town squares, cats roll on the footpath and dye swirl around.
I like to smell: cat fur, printer toner, fried mushrooms, neighbourhood wood fires and neroli.
I like to taste: rusty nails, burnt sugar and the slight taste of blood when I bite my tongue.
I like to feel: the edge of the satin trim on a blanket, cold glass against my face.
favourite part of my body: My forehead, it's just an odd expanse of skin but I feel it's pretty expressive.
favourite part of someone else's body: Their hands, especially ones with corded veins.
Why i shot myself: I wanted to reacquaint myself with my own body, we've had a distant but cooperative relationship for the last few years.
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: Anyone pressured into it.
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: Some men, what do you think guys?
my website/fav website: Etsy, Pinterest and eBay.
Most outrageous thing I have done: I used to sneak into a neighbour's front yard and pick from their fruit trees. I think they knew but they never seemed to confront me.
Bands I like: Interpol, Kate Bush, Patti Smith, Johnny Cash, PJ Harvey and Devendra Banhart.
Books I like: Henry & June, Fear of Flying, A Tale of Two Cities, The Robber Bride.
