ARTISTS STATEMENT
I used only items of clothing that I have made myself, to make this as wholly 'me' as I possibly could, in a space that's not my own. I have been back and forth on my identity and sense of self for a long time, but expressing myself sexually took a good ten years and the right people and partners to really become part of me. This is the first time I have confidently been able to project my sexuality and power alone, without physical support, and I admire myself for it. It's helped me even more to get to a place where I can regard my body with pride, dignity, and not see all the flaws I used to see.

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: Northampton, UK
occupation: Venue manager
age: 32
height: 5'5"
relationship status: Dating around
starsign: Leo
biggest passion in my life: Books, any and all books, I can never have enough or read enough, and the 'to be read' list is more like a library than my actual library
I like to listen to: People who can talk for hours about a subject they're passionate about, the excitement in their voices and the flow of their thoughts
I like to watch: Interactions between dogs and their owners in the park when they don't know (or care) that anyone's looking, there's such obvious love there and a unique and special bond
I like to smell: Woodshavings in a workshop, coconut in sunscreen, that moment when you open a new card game for the first time, pipe smoke that still somehow hangs around in old libraries
I like to taste: Good deep red wine and oaky buttery chardonnay, spice and heat in any and all foods, a killer Bloody Mary on a hot Sunday, salt and sweat on necks and backs
I like to feel: Heartbeats through stomachs and the fine hairs that cover them, scalding hot showers when you really scrub and exfoliate and get out with a new layer of skin
favourite part of my body: Any part with a tattoo
favourite part of someone else's body: Their hands
Why i shot myself: Because I want to see myself from all angles, and learn not to judge any of them, and to let others see the beauty in all the colours on my skin.
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: Kim Kardashian
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: Sigourney Weaver
Most outrageous thing I have done: Had sex in a fetish club in a room full of other people also having sex
Bands I like: The Hu, Alien Weaponry, Poppy, Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins, Hans Zimmer, John Williams
Books I like: The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, Stardust by Neil Gaiman, The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie, Tales Of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guinn, Eragon by Christopher Paolini, The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub, anything by Trudi Canavan, Sarah J Maas, Brandon Sanderson, or Scott Lynch
