ARTISTS STATEMENT
I had a desire to liberate myself from the ideas surrounding nudity being made public. Women seem to have been told that for us the Earth is flat and that's just how it is and I hope this experience shows myself and others that we can create any landscapes we please in which to explore. I see this project as another vehicle for art that might make you pause, smile wonder, or empathize. Generally a shy person, I have happily shocked myself by contributing to this project, and have captured a few moments that represent who I am at this moment in time.

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: Australia.
currently living in: A little house in a medium suburb in a big city.
occupation: Student of life.
age: 34.
height: Tall enough.
weight: Sometimes I feel heavy, sometimes light.
relationship status: In love with my dog.

biggest passion in my life: My dog and my friendships, exploration of new frontiers.
I like to listen to: my dogs' chatter, friends laughter, morning song and the movement of water.
I like to watch: everything that passes within my line of sight, I love and am grateful for the ability to see.
I like to smell: wattle blossom, rain in the bush, salty air, whiskey, lemon and honey and the scent of my dogs coat.
I like to taste: raspberries fresh off the bush warmed by the sun, and my flatmates bourbon salted caramel ice cream.
I like to feel: alive. Sun on my body, wind in my hair, smile on my face, peace of mind, happy, moved, free, strong.
favourite part of my body: My legs and feet. They may not be the prettiest, but they have strength and purpose.
favourite part of someone else's body: A mans back, a mans arm, lips, legs, you get the picture.
Why i shot myself: Because a new experience was needed.

Bands I like: Head banging, body rocking, make me wanna swirl music!
Books I like: All books, even partial to a bit of Mills and Boon.
Films I like: Heaps! Epic romances like Last of the Mohicans, Dances with Wolves, Top Gun and more intellectually stimulating movies also :)
