ARTISTS STATEMENT
Coming from a teenage background of disordered eating, my relationship with my body began on the wrong foot. It was the one thing I disliked about myself and I spent so much time trying to make myself smaller - to occupy as little space as possible. It was a long road, but I now love every curve, lump, bump and cut on body, and I am proud of the space I do fill and are determined to use it for good. To use my body and my mind for all the things I want to do, explore and break down. I look at myself in the morning light, lamplight, shop window, and I love what I see - what is underneath - because it is me and only mine, and it is powering me forward.
