ARTISTS STATEMENT

A friend told me about a surrealist film in which people sit around the 'dinner table', each on their own toilet, doing their respective 'business' while reading newspapers, books, and engaging in polite conversation. "Mum I'm hungry!" says a little boy, who is then scorned by his mother for using such inappropriate language at the dinner table. Scene changes to a man alone in a bathroom, sitting on a chair at a small table, eating a plate of food. Someone knocks and he replies abruptly, "I'm in here!" Civilization's habits are hilarious. Sometimes I feel more exposed in clothes than I do when naked. My clothing screams "I'm in here!" in all different voices, suggesting manifold expressions of my psyche, leaving me vulnerable and open to be interpreted by anyone who sees. As a naked body I am shocking, obscene, natural, raw, and beautiful. Just like every naked body. I don't own swimwear (why would I want to wrap my genitalia in plastic?) I hope people aren't offended when I swim at the beach nude, it just feels so good! I like to strip at festivals if it seems like an accepting crowd and the mood is right. If the weather is warm, or I've worked up a sweat, things are often more fun naked! I love being naked, and I love that you love me being naked, this was an absolutely awesome experience! Thanks for making it happen. "Although the surface of our planet is two-thirds water, we call it the Earth. We say we are earthlings, not waterlings. Our blood is closer to seawater than our bones to soil, but that's no matter. The sea is the cradle we all rocked out of, but it's to dust that we go. From the time that water invented us, we began to seek out dirt. The further we separate ourselves from the dirt, the further we separate ourselves from ourselves. Alienation is a disease of the unsoiled" - Tom Robbins.
