ARTISTS STATEMENT
I've always been a bit of an exhibitionist. I never close the curtains while getting changed. I like showing people the photos I've taken of myself where I feel sexy or cool or powerful. I have a long history of being the first to put my hand up to get my kit off for friends art projects as soon as the mention of the word "nude" is involved. My relationship with my body has always been tumultuous, and I have been neglectful in the past, but I always have found connection to it through art and photography and exhibition. The act of being seen by others allows me to see myself more clearly.

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: Launceston, Australia
occupation: Hairdresser
age: 23
height: 175cm
relationship status: Multiple partners
starsign: Cancer
biggest passion in my life: Human touch is something that I am intrinsically drawn to, a thing that I have centered my entire being around, the warmth, the feel, the glow, the knowing that you are loving and loved with a reassuring grasp, touch reminds me how human I am
I like to listen to: A spooky podcast so my mind is drawn into horrible tales of woe while I luxuriate
I like to watch: A video of a woman pissing out of a window, freely coming all over the highway, her body exposed to the elements
I like to smell: A cheap scented Kmart candle that fills my room with warm lemony goodness
I like to taste: Cold water running over my tongue and teeth. Pooling in the back of my throat before a hefty gulp
I like to feel: Sunlight pouring over my skin, along my spine, my hands, my hair. Getting kisses from the sun is like no earthly pleasure available
favourite part of my body: My hands, their tender softness, their strength and power, the way they move as I write this on my keyboard, every movement is thoughtful and sensual and grounds me to the earth
favourite part of someone else's body: That little sweet spot between the hipbone and the rib cage, the softest most vulnerable part of a waistline, you could just dig your fingers right in and take a bite it's so luscious
Why i shot myself: I shot myself because I was afraid of myself, and I believe in facing your fears, no matter how large or small, or where they reside.
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: Scomo
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: Div Dravid
Most outrageous thing I have done: I was caught spread eagle, in the front seat of my girlfriend's car, butt naked, as a bus full of tourists drove past. They saw me in all my glory while I was being very well taken care of, it was exciting and erotic, definitely an experience that gave me a hell of an adrenaline rush
Bands I like: My favourite musicians are Kate & Anna McGarrigle, French-Canadian folk singers and sisters. The band Dr Dog. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros as well
Books I like: Witches, Sluts, Feminists by Kristen J. Sollée, Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson
Films I like: Bright Star by Jane Campion, Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, The Fellowship of the Ring (Lord of the Rings) by Peter Jackson
