I try to create art from a place of subconscious. The subconscious to me seems slightly unknown to us, yet at the same time it is the very core of who we are and how we show up in the world. To create from a subconscious level means digging deeper and letting go of trying to create art that is always "well received" by others. As a child, I often felt people were prudish for no reason, fearful of naked bodies, ashamed of their own naked body. I felt out of place in a world where everyone seemed so black and white about nudity. It felt so judgmental. Photographing nude couples in nature, skinny dipping, dancing naked in the headlights to the songs that make them feel alive, has healed a part of me that had to conform when I did know to do anything else. Now I get to be with like-minded people who choose to go against the grain and be proud of the body they are in.
