MANDARIN 

ARTISTS STATEMENT
Initially I felt cynical about unveiling my naked self. I then acquired and considered the idea that expressive nudity is not a freedom to fear, but a freedom to admire. I consider my work an alternative art piece, a celebration of beautiful form. Human sculpture dancing with fruit celebrates fragility and diversity which is the very essence of life.
