ARTISTS STATEMENT
I am a strong willed feminist. I do not believe men should suffer due to the oppression women have and still do endure. Rather, I hope and aim to educate and question those oblivious to the inequalities through occasional and somewhat shocking desensitization, which is why I was drawn to ISM because I believe the female body is so beautiful and I despise the disillusioned image, and sexual objectification, that has been created overwhelmingly by men. Sadly a huge part of the stereotype and/or false expectation has evolved due to the way women treat themselves and one another. Through giving real pictures of myself, I aim to show the natural, organic, confident, powerful, imperfect body of a woman. That is sometimes hairy, occasionally smells, often unkempt and most importantly, entirely my own.
