‘FAMILIARITIES’ by
ESTELLE_V
PRIMARY - 15 DEC 2017
"Unflinching and open I tried to show through my photos a sense of home and comfort in skin. I deliberately chose not to make a lot of the photos sexy or flattering in an attempt to deconstruct the idea of a woman's body as a sexual object. To show that vulva, breasts and butt are not necessarily sexual in themselves, they are just skin after all. I chose to shoot in my garden and in my home, with some of my favourite objects that remind me of the comforts of home, food, records, the sound of my housemate's guitar, tea and books. Some of the photos are cheeky and playful, warm and affectionate to reinforce the idea of finding comfort and home in nudity, that you can relax, that you can be silly and familiar in your own skin."
