ARTISTS STATEMENT
I came to shoot myself through the pursuit of being naked on camera. I have finally come to accept and love my body, clothed and naked, and wanted to celebrate this. My folio serves to celebrate the end of a journey which has resulted in happiness generally in life, as well as with my body and sexuality. The mirror reads "I have a perfect body, but sometimes I forget", a quote which has been pretty central to my acceptance. It sits on my mirror as a reminder for times when I need it. While I shot myself was not one of those times.
