ARTISTS STATEMENT
I did this shoot throughout my home just doing my normal stuff at first then gradually got creative and brought out things I enjoyed and hobbies I partake in. It was honestly a really therapeutic experience as I've recently gone through a lot and am learning to love my body again. I have a lot of scars that I disliked but kind of see them as character building now. I also just fell hard off my board on a long skate so it was cool seeing those injuries as part of my joy rather than an embarrassment. I don't like looking at myself much so this helped me see myself in a healthier manner. Overall this really did get me more in touch with my body as a whole and even brought me closer and more comfortable to some stuff I don't usually tell people about myself. I'm pretty damn thankful to have been a part of this endeavour and I truly hope I can do it again. I saw myself from a whole new perspective, the way my body bends and the lines and colours that appear were so interesting and new to me, it was like a work of art was creating itself in front of me and I was just there taking photos of it.

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: New Lambton Heights, Australia
occupation: Student
age: 23
height: 165cm
relationship status: Happily in a polyamorous relationship
starsign: Libra
biggest passion in my life: It always has and always will be animal rescue without a doubt
I like to listen to: I love listening to my dog snoring, my violin after I've just tuned it, a trumpeter improvising, a rapper getting angry, a storm right as it's starting, the theme song of Indiana Jones
I like to watch: Anything with Harrison Ford in it, I always watch my dog waking up and getting excited to see me, 90's or early 2000's anime and low budget action movies are my go to comfort watches
I like to smell: The smells that bring me clarity and joy are crushed lavender leaves, fresh cut wood, burning paper, rain on a hot day, fresh peppermint leaves
I like to taste: I LOVE to taste fresh fruit off the tree, sea water on my lips after swimming, Mum's Irish stews, raspberry sorbet, hot chocolate cake, myself on other people
I like to feel: What I touch to feel good is my partner's body when I wake up, that extra soft spot on top of my dog's head, my stick insects crawling on me and the breeze on my face as I skate down a hill
favourite part of my body: My favourite part of my body has always been my eyes but you know I think it's my waist now
favourite part of someone else's body: I love people's hip bones so much like I just want to see everyone's hips and feel everyone's hip bones
Why i shot myself: I'd been thinking about doing it for a while and I finally felt ready. I wanted to see myself differently and learn how to love myself and my body.
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: People who want to learn to love their imperfections the way I am learning to, suicide survivors so they can see that the scars don't matter, my partner and my best friend
Most outrageous thing I have done: I've always been rebellious, always running away from home or drastically deciding to go overseas. I got a car and had to teach myself to drive on the way home then it got stolen and I found out where it was and stole it back. But I think out of everything the most outrageous thing I've done lately is getting sober from sheer willpower and support from friends and family
Bands I like: I LOVE My Chemical Romance, J. Cole, Slush, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Tracy Chapman, Django Reinhardt, Ashnikko, Mother Mother, Rico Nasty, Pink, Britney Spears, Leonard Cohen and Gemma Sidney
Books I like: City of Beasts by Isabel Allende, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Edgar Allen Poe's collected short stories, Shakespeare's sonnets
