I shot this second series in my backyard, as being in the bush and feeling a bit like a wild woman is a big part of my life and how I stay feeling centred. It is where I get a large portion of my inspiration for life and art from as it has so many textures and cycles of life happening all at once. I wanted to explore more of getting closeups that showed off the different textures and shapes of my body, while also trying to include the textures of my surroundings. I tried to include more of my body hair as it is something that makes me feel the most liberated version of myself. I felt very free and playful being naked out in the long grass during sunset, even if there was a moment of panic when I thought I sat on a snake.

artists statement-In the past, I have done a series of nude self-portraiture using a Bluetooth shutter button as I was creating landscape images to explain my connection to growing up in the country and it being my place of safety. I was very interested in the ISM idea, while people are more accepting of nudity than in the past, there is still a massive stigma around expressing and showing yourself nude. I feel more comfortable in myself after this experience as it has reminded me of how human I am and allowed me to see all the ways my skin folds and stretches. This has also reminded me that whoever sees my body, in a more intimate way, is lucky because I'm damn gorgeous.
