ARTISTS STATEMENT
I work in the corporate world, which is very restrictive and oppressive. Appearance is everything and appropriateness is vital. This photo shoot made feel free. I could let go of my formal occupational identity and come back to my true self, in my naked form. Being a woman, I am often sexualised, whether I am wearing clothes or not. Whether I want to be or not. There was no sexual element for me in this shoot. This was just me, my body, and my genitals have a moment together. Me celebrating and thanking my body for always being there with me. For taking the punishments I often throw at her and for always doing its best. For once, I wasn't trying to look conventionally attractive, or cared about what someone might think about how my naked body might look. Angles didn't matter and my 'bad side' didn't exist. I just ate before I started shooting and my belly was nice and full of nutrients. My body and nudity was just for me. I felt beautiful, ugly and all in-between. At the end of the day, my body is mine, she always was and she always will be.
