ARTISTS STATEMENT
I decided to contribute to ISM to help myself see this form of public nudity as an art form. I also wanted to assist myself to accept the changes my body has undertaken as a result of menopause. I managed to get myself into shape after having triplets but I found that menopause has created a weight gain that I was unfamiliar with and uncomfortable with. I wanted to be able to love myself despite the extra kilos I am now carrying. Photographing myself has helped me feel more positive about myself after menopause.
