OLLY 

ARTISTS STATEMENT
Growing into my flesh suit has been a painful experience full of many highs and many lows. After shedding layers of societal conditioning and expectations imposed by strangers and people close to me, I am so proud to call this body my home. It doesn't look, feel, smell or move like anyone else's and I adore that. As a female bodied human I was taught modesty from a young age and it's just not who I am. Identifying as non-binary has only bolstered this confidence in expressing myself. I am tall. I am muscular. I am alternative. I am masculine. I am graceful. I am elegant. I am unlike any other.

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: Brisbane, Australia
occupation: Model
age: 29
height: 179cm
relationship status: Relishing in new love with my two partners
starsign: Pisces sun, Aquarius moon, Capricorn rising
biggest passion in my life: Music! I have a playlist or song for almost every moment; the drive to work, going to sleep, feeling the touch of my partner...every activity has the perfect accompanying sound
I like to listen to: The ringing in my ears after attending a live music performance
I like to watch: The birth of a new night as the sun slowly sets
I like to smell: The smokey remnants of a fire mixed with the cool air in the early hours of the morning
I like to taste: Honey in my tea and more garlic than is ever recommended in any recipe
I like to feel: The warmth flow down in to my stomach as I swallow the first mouthful of my coffee every day
favourite part of my body: My underarm hair or my feet
favourite part of someone else's body: Highly relevant to the individual, but I love collar bones, hands, feet and backs
Why i shot myself: Having had plenty of people take my photo, shooting myself is always my favourite because the only limit is my imagination.
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: I thought on this for an extremely long time and realised I couldn't decide because IF someone is comfortable putting themselves out there, I hope one day that they do. Taking the leap and doing things that challenge and empower us is half the excitement of life
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: Anyone struggling with body image; seeing photos of yourself, especially close ups of body parts really do help improve the thoughts we have around them
Most outrageous thing I have done: Made a relatively snap decision to pack most of my belongings into my car and drive interstate for a change of scenery and fresh start
Bands I like: Sleep Token, Marilyn Manson, Highly Suspect, Papa Roach, Die Antwoord
Books I like: Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis, Blood Ties by Rosemary Hayes, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne
Films I like: 10 Thing I Hate About You, Pan's Labyrinth, Dracula Untold, The Rocky Horror Picture Show
