Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

JAYNIE

ARTISTS STATEMENT

When I was 18 years old I took naked self portraits of myself in the shower. The series consisted of three black and white photos with me in varying petal like positions. The series was titled 'Loneliness'. I used the photos to explore the concept of communicating an emotion visually. More significantly, it also reflected my emotional state at the time. Now, a few years on, I feel more comfortable and content in my own skin, both physically and emotionally. I no longer want to perceive my body as an allegory for isolation and vulnerability. Instead I want to celebrate it for what it is and appreciate it for where it has taken me. Project_ISM has allowed me to this through coloured photo's and it's emphasis on the natural beauty of the body.
