ARTISTS STATEMENT
Comfort, acceptance and joy around being naked has been a constant process and improvement, a journey that expands self love. Connecting to ones body is one way that you can reconnect with the reality of this world and nature. Our Western consumerist society commodifies and ranks types of bodies over others. Ishotmyself and similar experiences can reinforce but also subvert this matrix in our heads that make us unhappy and get a glimpse of the divine that exists within everyone and how others might see you. It was fun to explore the many moods and expressions and facets of myself. Being naked is a birthright. Expression is the experience of making what is inner, outer and the catharsis is rejuvenating. I like myself but also see and feel darkness, balance and shadow and light is something I try to embrace. Sometimes it feels like ego is like smoke.
