Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

ARTISTS STATEMENT

As with many women I have struggled with the idea of beauty and how I feel about myself because I have never fitted into the conventional modern idea of beauty, however put me in a renaissance painting and I would be a beauty of all beauties. Despite this apparent limitation I am fortunately blessed with bountiful amounts of internal beauty and it often pours out through my heart, eyes and touch to most everyone and everything around me. At first most people miss this, but not all. I have helped many of them see and feel a beauty that does not fit their conditioned ideas. I love the moments when it is like a light has gone on within someone when they suddenly see the real me beyond their initial assumptions. These are powerful moments that would never occur if I fitted into the conventional ideas of what is attractive. From a teenager three has been a desire in me to move beyond any resistance to freedom. I have especially wanted to be comfortable with my nudity, despite my conditioning from a society that is bound by the archaic and uninspected morals of Christian beliefs. I choose to be nude as often as possible, I always sleep nude, I am often nude at home in summer, swimming with friends and on my own, or just being nude with my lover. It feels natural, amazing and wonderful. How many of you swim nude? Even tiny bikinis restrict the feeling of water all over the skin. This project has given me an opportunity to find my sweet angles and as the shoot progressed I became less concerned and critical of what the camera was capturing. It was also very sexy and I hope everyone who sees me shoot myself enjoys and appreciates the beauty in me and all others.
