Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

ANISTASIA

ARTISTS STATEMENT

I feel women need to be more open about their sexuality. In the past, women have been defined by their "sexuality", their allure to men. Christianity, the religion integral to the formation of Western society, provides examples of the two opposite extremes: Mary, the virgin even in birth, and Eve, the harlot who seduced Adam into eating forbidden fruit (and fruit has remained erotic ever since), banishing humankind from Paradise. Thus in our society the beautiful, physical sexual woman is seen as debauched and subversive. Yet it should be embraced and celebrated. Like the nude...the body, in its natural state. Being one with nature. I hope that you find this folio to be artistically interesting, and that it may reflect a strong image which is sexually empowering for women, but also the viewer. To be equal, and to enjoy.
