‘WILD_HEART’ by MARCELLE
RELOAD - 20 MAY 2017
"I was originally going to shoot at the skate park down the road from my house, but every time I checked it out it was overrun by schoolchildren or skaters. I didn't want to get caught out in the skate bowl, so I decided to do it in my new room as I'd moved the day before. While I was dyeing my hair and wandering around naked I went outside and had a cigarette and decided to take some of the photos in the backyard. It was the first time I'd been home alone and able to just wander around naked outside so I took advantage of the freedom and got creative with the camera. It felt so great to stand out in the open air in my backyard, it's got no trees and is surrounded by two-story houses so I was out there for the world to see, it was funny and liberating. The wind was blowing my hair around but I didn't feel cold, even in the Melbourne air! Then I went inside, and decided to take some photos with my lace curtains. I really enjoyed the shoot, I picked a flower from outside and scattered the petals across my body and around me. The battery died as I decided I was taking the last photo."
