ARTISTS STATEMENT
We all live in a body, most of anyway, but we forget how meaningful our bodies are. There is so much power in what we can express with our bodies. Stories are how we connect to each other, and the stories we share can be so liberating for ourselves and each other. I grew up in between worlds in so many ways, and western culture doesn't tolerate that kind of existence outside the norm very well. I've experienced so much hatred directed at my body for the ways that I am different, conflicting messages of being ugly and unworthy, but also being really sexualized. Western culture sexualizes everything, and I think that really hurts us as people. But we are sexual, and there's something about eroticized messages that reaches people in such an intense way. I love being able to take advantage of that, to play with it and make art that can have strong impacts. I love sharing myself with people, and I love how I can make meaningful statements about myself, my body, desire, sensual joy, sexual empowerment, and resistance through porn and erotica.
