Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

SPARKLEYBEAR

ARTISTS STATEMENT

I feel confident in my body and in this shoot. I don't see a problem with public nudity if the intentions are right. I think the human form is pure, beautiful and surprising. I think our ideas about nudity have changed dramatically from the neoplatonic view during the renaissance period to the censorship, exploitation and shaming of the naked body we experience in everyday modern life and in the art world.
