Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

ARTISTS STATEMENT

I'd done so many photo shoots in lingerie or clothing, I had taken pictures of my body parts for online content, but I had never really photographed myself completely nude. It was confronting. I have insecurities about my body and the effects of dramatic weight gain and loss through a rough period of my life. Conceptually I wanted to play with the idea of light and shadow and emergence. I was held back from my potential and couldn't take care of myself for years, and this year, despite all that's going on globally, I feel finally at peace, energised, creative and ready to love myself again. I was kind of fearful that I would hate them, but honestly I'm so surprised at just how much I love these images and how I look in them. Stretch marks, bulges, sagging skin, hyperpigmentation, body acne... these are the lines and curves and colours, the physical manifestation of my story.
