“I started my artistic practice as a performer, so the body has always been my medium of expression. I am also a life model and that was how I discovered my body has the potential to be both object and subject, which was liberating. Bodies are amazing. I love the endless possibilities and transformations the body allows for, the constant growth and decay that is simultaneously happening all the time, the way it is both a container and a bridge of our inner-outer worlds. I am also interested in the materiality of the body, or how our bodies matter in society, to relook what we know as norms

With the Red Thread series, we want to offer a space for people to be able to share their personal narratives. Maybe someone will find resonance, maybe not, but it doesn’t take away from whatever you feel is yours. Perhaps nudes.jpg can be a collective space for our body stories to breathe, to be witnessed, whatever your relationship to your body is in that moment.”
