Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

ARTISTS STATEMENT

After 23 years of existence I finally feel almost completely comfortable in my 6'2" frame. Most of my life I have felt awkward and gawky, much the opposite of my current state. Yes, I still trip over lips on the sidewalk and have to duck beneath a branch's grasp, but, in the face of a crowd I can ooze presence and statuesque confidence. I still have gripes about my figure, who doesn't, but I've come to love my overly longs legs and inherent ability to intimidate men. Part of the reason I chose to exhibit myself in this sort of project is to celebrate my newfound love for my limbs, skin, face and breasts. I hope you enjoy celebrating this with me.
