ARTISTS STATEMENT
Here I present power within vulnerability. My bedroom is a very personal and private place, a place for me to cry, laugh and explore myself. Body image concerns had been a massive problem for many, many years, but through recent exploration of sexuality, I've felt empowered and in control of how I perceive myself. I chose to work with fabrics that would create folds and creases in places that would (by societal standards) look unattractive. My body romanticises the restraint and dominance between my bare body and the elastic wraps.

current obsession:
I like to listen to: As of 27 hours ago, Solange

Why i shot myself: I've participated in many group creative shoots for friends and have always had some incredible giggles. I shot myself was something that I also giggled to. I did it for me, and it unknowingly was a massive learning advantage for myself.
