Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

ARTISTS STATEMENT

I've always enjoyed nakedness and everything about it. Capturing unaltered, confident, and honest nakedness in any medium of art seems surprisingly rare today. It is definitely difficult to acknowledge and overcome the sheer mass of unrealistic media that is so aggressively infiltrating our everyday lives, telling us how to look, act, think. When people say nakedness is not acceptable, that our bodies are something to feel shame about, I say fuck that! To me, embracing your naked body and each of its nooks and crannies is one of the most liberating things a person can do. Our bodies are constantly changing as we age and photographing your entirety is a cool way to document your soul jar as it journeys through life.
