ARTISTS STATEMENT
Four years ago I started finding city life too hectic. I craved space and peace. Since then I've been living alone in remote areas, getting to know myself and enjoying the solitude. I've had the good fortune to be staying on the beautiful property in this shoot for the past few months and to be caring for the llamas. A while ago I decided it was time to return home to Melbourne. I feel that doing this project is the perfect way to end and document my time here and the journey I am taking to return home to my family and friends. I really enjoyed I Shot Myself and found it to be easier than expected to be naked in the winter outside. I really like the concept behind it and the amount of creative control the model has over the shoot. I think it is a fantastic exercise in positive body image. More people should be celebrating their bodies and sharing them with the world.
