ARTISTS STATEMENT
I think that for me; taking up space is important, allowing myself to see and to be seen. And through this process of practicing bodily autonomy, I think having self love and compassion is paramount. Learning to love yourself is probably the hardest and most courageous thing that you can do for yourself. So I consider participating in a project like this to be an exercise in that. What might be surprising to people, is that I haven't had body issues as much as people have had issues with my body. Our bodies are the most beautiful instruments that we will ever hold, and to honour that, I refuse to feel shame for enjoying my body, however I see fit. I would encourage everyone to practice body sovereignty, always obtain enthusiastic consent and be excellent to each other.
