ARTISTS STATEMENT
Going for a late night time bike ride in the nude, chatting to my housemates on the loo with my pants down and the door open, gardening naked - I love all the states of nudity. I love nudity in its playful, sultry, unworked and natural states, I love the stories of whimsy and honesty that it can reveal. When I feel safe and respected I feel so intimate with my body, I feel fun free and empowered. It was such a self nourishing exercise to photograph my vulva hairy. There is a lot of body hair shame in both my generation and in the culture I live in so it feels liberating to own the natural state my body appears in. Any hairstyle from there is a choice but right now this is how my body is and so nice to own that.
