Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

MERRIS

ARTISTS STATEMENT

I am creative and would consider myself a free bird, I am not afraid to express myself and show how I feel. I express myself through my art and I think nudity should be embraced, not something to feel or think shamefully about. I like old film noirs, big retro singers from the 50's but I am also edgy, tapping into my inner child and also listening to punk bands. Individuality should be celebrated more through our society and women should be made to feel more comfortable in their own skin. There is a beauty in nature, and there is a beauty in the naked human body.
