ARTISTS STATEMENT
Up until a few years ago, I held a view of myself that unfortunately seems increasingly prevalent among young women - that my naked body was definitely not okay. At first I tried fitting in with some of the beauty standards that surrounded me but I still felt the same way about my body. Then I found skating and a community that allowed me to think about the beauty ideal differently. Rather than trying to make my body beautiful, I worked on my mind, my ways of thinking. Stumbling across this project opened up an opportunity to 'show off' the nakedness that I have come to embrace, and I chose to contribute wearing the things that make me most confident in life - my skates.

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: Lismore, NSW
occupation: Looking for work after finishing my degree last year
age: 21
height: 177cm
relationship status: Single
biggest passion in my life: Roller derby. Anytime I'm around derby I feel at home. You can't really do it professionally (no funding) but I am trying my darndest
I like to listen to: Melodic music, a calm forest, my friends talking
I like to watch: Things that make me think, people who love doing what they are passionate about
I like to smell: Fresh country air, especially on a warm evening and you can smell the earth and trees
I like to taste: Desserts. All of the desserts!
I like to feel: Victorious or satisfied with the job done, relaxed, calm, useful, worthy and needed
favourite part of my body: I am quite fond of my breasts but I am loving my arms right now as they are steadily becoming more defined
favourite part of someone else's body: I am a butt-loving girl, especially a nice muscled one. But I also love anywhere with nice contours on a woman's body
Why i shot myself: As another way of being confident with my body, almost to prove to myself that I could do something that I'd been thinking about for a while
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: Male politicians, does that really need an explanation?
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: Athletes, all sorts of athletes!
my website/fav website: Autostraddle, TVTropes, and Sporcle are always entertaining, and for all social-media's downfalls the connections you can make and keep are fantastic
Most outrageous thing I have done: Probably moving to the other side of the world at 17 for a year
Bands I like: My Itunes is the strangest mix of music you've ever seen. Way too varied to list them!
Books I like: Fiction that either makes you think or get really into it, autobiographies, sciencey stuff about astronomy and physics and the world
Films I like: Satirical humor, foreign film (especially German and Scandinavian), I'm a sucker for good apocalyptic films
