Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

ARTISTS STATEMENT

Body image and sexuality was something I struggled with immensely through my adolescent/teen years as it was never something that was addressed, not just in my family but in a small rural (conservative) town. I found it very difficult to express and explore myself and it was only when I found my passion for art that I found my passion for de-stigmatising sex, nudity and the creative expression of both. I realised it was vital to contribute my ideals and perspective around these issues as a queer, feminist woman on an environment or industry that is and has always been saturated with voyeuristic and objectified images from the male gaze. Ishotmyself was a fun way to explore and express my raw, naked self for a company that supports and uplifts my experience.
