YVETTE 

ARTISTS STATEMENT
I give you these photos with permission to share my aesthetic, strength, vulnerability and curiosity. They are not for judgment or shame, but celebration of the way I have wrestled with the space I take up in this world and come out with a long stride and no fucks to give. A diverse space for a diverse voice. I welcome being part of a project that both acknowledges my place in the world as a sexual and aesthetic body with those real world things (them big ol' $$) and those much realer world things: RESPECT SAFETY and FUN! I hope that you take away a question or two about they way you look at women in the world and what you expect of them. If you have come here to get off, I'm sure I can help, and if you have come here to explore, I give you a map!

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: Sydney, Australia
currently living in: Melbourne
occupation: Rampensau
age: 23

I like to smell: Sun dried sheets, mulled wine and public transport
I like to taste: The blood of bin-lords, eggplant parmagana, coffee&ciggies
I like to feel: the weight of lots of rings on my fingers
favourite part of my body: The way my eyebrows flick up with an appropriately revealing expression for every reaction I have.
favourite part of someone else's body: Wrists and armpits
Why i shot myself: I'm a broke artist who reckons that my body is good for a lot of things, including being beautiful and making $$ AT THE SAME TIME!
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: Bin Lords. Who want's to know? Or maybe I do...
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: People exploring themselves in the objective aesthetic, and being kind to themselves while they do it.
my website/fav website: The Guardian Australia
Most outrageous thing I have done: Played a Russian alcoholic lesbian anarchist in moscow, 1985. It was not far from the truth.

other random stuff: I am an angry feminist, a wilting wallflower, an inspired artist and a mad lover in many moments over as many hours. I will never be yours to own, but give you my time to experience. You are welcome to share in my exploration and my intimacy. Touch the sides, the insides, the about sides, and NEVER tell me Jack Kerouac was a genius. We'll get on just fine. Maintain the rage and enthusiasm!
