ARTISTS STATEMENT

I first found out about IShotMyself months ago, but was too nervous to actually take part in it myself at the time. I changed my mind recently and I'm so glad I did, it was fantastic fun and a different experience to what I thought it would be. I'm very proud to be involved in a project that celebrates women's sexuality in a positive and empowering manner, and it really is so liberating to embrace your own body in such an immediate, real, uncensored way. I hope that society can continue to become less uptight about healthy expressions of female sensuality, and that this is the kind of thing that future employers will consider positively as a sign of a well-rounded person rather than any sort of "risk". My life and my view of myself have changed so much for the better in the last five years, and seeing myself as powerful and sexy has been a huge part of that - so it's been great to reaffirm that by doing IShotMyself.
