ARTISTS STATEMENT
Over the past few years I've grown increasingly disillusioned with our society's attitude towards sex. I find people are either puritanical or investing huge amounts of time and energy into porn which perpetuates degrading stereotypes. I want to see real people expressing themselves sexually in what ever way they want, not just caricaturing what they saw on redtube. For me personally, this is not about empowerment or money, this is about my body, my sexuality and my art. Deciding to take part in I Shot Myself has been a scary experience, but as I keep reminding myself, 'scary', just like an open dialogue about sex, is invaluable.
