ARTISTS STATEMENT
I love the idea of ISM because of its realness. Our media is saturated with airbrushed, enhanced images designed to make us feel 'less than', to make us feel more insecure and like our imperfections mean there is something wrong with us when that's just not true at all. No one looks like those images, not even the people the photographs were originally taken of look like that! For me, participating in ISM is about subverting that over-riding cultural message and countering it with something raw and real, me, as I am, blemishes and bruises and scars and saggy bits and asymmetry and underneath all of that, just another woman. A woman with a story, passions, hidden hurts and not so hidden hurts, insecurities, idiosyncrasies, talents, friends, a family and dreams, just like anybody else. None of us need feel ashamed of being ourselves, as we are, no matter what the mass media would have us believe. I am saying no to shame and saying no to fear and no to self doubt. I hope people enjoy the photographs and find them empowering, erotic and fun <3
