Everybody's Body
Welcome to my online exhibition of 'Everybody's Body'.
I have created this collection to embrace the individual. To embrace independent body types, independent personalities, independent journey's and life stories. Everyone has evolved through their life to form who they are today and our bodies are a physical representation of this. No one can share exactly what our minds have been through but our bodies have carried us through the process.
Individuality is the best thing about being human and unfortunately the most overlooked thing. In today's society, everyone has an 'ideal' that over powers our self love.
When starting this collection, I asked the models what they liked about themselves. For a few this was quite a hard question. When flicking through this collection, notice the words of the individual.
What do you like about yourself? : "My Independence. I think for myself and do what feels right for me. "
What do you like about yourself? : "I've always secretly liked my little boobs."
What do you like about yourself? : " I like the way my body gives me signs, either internally or externally, to let me know what it needs and wants to be happy."
What do you like about yourself? : " I love the fact that my body created three beautiful, healthy babies."
What do you like about yourself? : " How my body communicates with me and how my ability to read it more accurately as I grow."
What do you like about yourself? : " I like my extra skin as a reminder of the journey I've been on for self acceptance and self love."
What do you like about yourself? : "I often sit and pick out everything I hate about myself, but I rarely think about the things I love, Which is why I was so keen to take part in this project.
What do you like about yourself? : " I love Being Me."
What do you like about yourself? : " This body I am in has been through everything with me. It's held me up through tragic times and eased with my laughter. It's told me when there's something amiss and when everything will be just fine."
What do you like about yourself? : " I'm happy with the skin I'm in and I feel comfortable with my curves."
What do you like about yourself? : " I'm thankful for the curves and the strength and determination of my mind and body."
What do you like about yourself? : " I love my creative flare and the fire in my belly for success."
Grand Designs Live
In October 2022, I exhibited my work at Grand Designs to spread the word about my bespoke artworks. I create for people and individual identity which is why I wanted to share my pieces. As they are all one off, with most being commissioned, the personal touch is what I'm all about.
Being able to talk to clients in person and be face to face was amazing. Most client's don't normally get to see my work in person, so being in the presence of art can really create an understanding of how they make one feel.
Here are some photos from the show!
