The series I worked on this year is called Reclamation, and speaks to the idealisation of the female body.
As recognised artists have predominantly been men, inspired by the female body and therefore projecting their gaze onto it, I believe it is important for more women to be recognised as Artists and for them to define their own bodies. La Femme - always mystified, elegant, sexy, the artist's muse and effortlessly envoutante - is almost stripped of her humanity and deified. Women are first and foremost human beings, who shit smell laugh cry fight jump run fall travel speak read eat play in other words live. And their bodies are first and foremost vehicles for them to experience life, and as such they stretch bend bloat change and adapt.
In this series, I aim to reclaim my (female) body for what it is: a vehicle of life. Neither an object of desire nor mystical femininity, simply a vessel which allows me to exist in 3D and try out the "human experience". Nothing less, nothing more.

I really like the kinda cubist style on this series. I 100% agree with you about the male gaze on the female body and this is a cool series!
