ARTISTS STATEMENT
Nudity is our most natural form, and my favourite state to exist in. I was so excited for the opportunity to express so many facets of myself - my passion, my form, my truest, natural self - to a platform which encourages these without emphasizing a need for perfection, over-sexualization or the male gaze. After my shoot, I climbed down from my tree feeling not just peaceful and grounded as I do after each climb, but liberated and beautiful as I was forced to face deeply my natural image and create a journey reflecting that which I embark upon each morning.

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: Sutherland, Sydney
occupation: Waitress
age: 27
height: 178cm
relationship status: Single
starsign: Capricorn
biggest passion in my life: Movement is my biggest passion. There's no feeling greater than skillfully perfecting a new technique or pose within something like yoga or climbing
I like to listen to: Birds in the morning
I like to watch: The infinite shifting of colours coming from a glorious sunset
I like to smell: The scent of blown out candles
I like to taste: The rainbow! A middle eastern spread with fresh falafel, pickles, hummus and tabouli makes me euphoric
I like to feel: The serenity which comes after a long movement session
favourite part of my body: I love my legs because they're long and strong and carry me everywhere I want to go
favourite part of someone else's body: I love to admire muscles on torsos... there's so many contours! I also love body hair, as the patterns and lines it makes is so beautiful
Why i shot myself: The opportunity to express myself in such a unique way, highlighting what I love, with so much freedom, it was too wonderful to pass up!
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: That's a tricky question as I believe everyone should do as they like, but mean, sinister people are less beautiful to see
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: Any of my friends - I would hope they enjoy it as much as I did
Most outrageous thing I have done: In my local forest, I once out-witted and escaped a gang of people who were chasing me, who likely had horrific intentions
Bands I like: Dope Lemon, Violent Soho and Tame Impala all make me very excited
Books I like: I've been reading Game of Thrones for entertainment lately, as well as books on foraging... anything I can eat from nature is awesome! There's a book on edible weeds which was written for Melbourne that I'm loving too
Films I like: I'm also watching Game of Thrones... better late than never. Documentaries I love include Fantastic Fungi and The Dawn Wall, which is about climbing - so inspiring!
