BASIL 

ARTISTS STATEMENT
I don't want to be trapped inside the tired old paradigm that society often seems to support of having my relationship with my body dictate the terms by which I experience my feelings about myself. I'm not "daring" or "liberated", "good", "bad", "repressed" or "free" because I took photos of myself naked and put them online. I am pro-woman, pro-body and pro-eroticism, not because of how I feel about my body and nudity, or as a reaction against how I perceive society to feel about these things, but rather because I'm a humanist. I hope you like the pics; I hope they get someone off. Side note: I liked shooting my vagina the most. When I saw it on film from different angles it reminded me alternatively of a burger, a horse's vagina, a cushion, and a tiny, weirdly designed room heater that had somehow found its way to my crotch and nested there.
