ARTISTS STATEMENT
Completing this project, I feel like I've taken a step towards coming back to who I am. The places where I'm usually frolicking naked and expressing myself naked are at festivals and without these being possible for the last year, this form of expression had faded. I really forgot how much I adore being naked in my own space, it feels like home and it helps me feel grounded and whole. I first heard of ISM years ago and at the time didn't feel comfortable sharing photos of my body, so to complete this project and feel so good and so at home capturing my body years on is such a beautiful insight into how I've changed and how I value and appreciate the power of nudity, the beauty of bodies and ethical erotica.
