ARTISTS STATEMENT
I really wanted to try out Feck as it en-captured a philosophy of the (female) body that I have been exploring with myself and my art in way of self-portraiture. I find it humorous that nudity has such strong stigmas held to it, especially female nudity. When looking through shoots for female swimwear for example, you just see strained, unnatural poses pulled by the model to show her 'features' as if she were a Porsche, and then there's Feck (!!!). Finally a person can take control of their own identity and image within a world that imposes identities onto its inhabitants. I loved controlling my shoot, it gave a lot of power back to me, allowing not only an exploration of my physical self, but of my identity also. It really got me wondering about how I portray myself in terms of what I see or want others to see. We live in a world that thrives off attention, we try to stand out among our friends, sharing our daily stories online everyday, putting ourselves out in the world to make it seem ultra interesting. Ever since deleting Facebook, I've been seeking ways to refine and understand what it is to have a self-identity, and by exploring myself through understanding how to show myself, I am also able to get to know aspects of my external self which helps to strengthen my internal.
