When I was preparing to shoot this nude series I knew I didn’t want to create images to stimulate the male libido. I was seeking a psychologically expressive female figure for myself. Some of the feminist literature that has influenced my thought in this area is a book by Linda Nochlin “Women, Art, And Power And Other Essays”. In this book she reaches an all time high in feminist rhetoric when she photographs a male nude holding a tray of banana’s held at knee height….!! So refreshing! / _______________ / This Image “Imprinted Woman”. Photo montage printed on Kinwashi. Three images montaged in Photoshop: Nude, Chinese calligraphy pattern, and cut radish (the vegetable) pattern. The final image was printed on an Inkaid prepped Kinwashi paper. 11’’ x 14”. The radish “paper” is very interesting; a small sheet about 6×8 inches of thinly sliced radish rounds pressed together into a translucent sheet. I found it at Hiromi Paper in Santa Monica http://www.hiromipaper.com/store/home.php.

Used to wear this slogan, hand-painted, on an army surplus tee. Thought it would be a nice little act of subversion to print it across the boobs in a typically “babydoll” tee, and in a “fun” typeface. Now I’ll wear this one.

poison & sunlit fur
by bellmuskerYou buy your first stilettos, four inches high and fire engine red. You can’t quite strut in them yet, but you will.
The world breaks everyone, and many are strong at the broken places. / Ernest Hemingway I hid this for a long time. Mostly because I sent it off to a publisher, but also because it’s without a doubt my most personal piece on RB. It was accepted by the publisher and recently I read it aloud at the book launch. Yasemin Sumner (who also had a story published in the same book) and Luckyvegetable said my voice didn’t tremble at all. I think they were being kind. After all, when you read your diary out to a room full of strangers, you’re allowed to shake a bit.

Excerpt from an essay I wrote about my work. I think this is the first time I’m really getting into detail publicly about the symbolism of my work. ”...The original assignment was to draw something new every day for three weeks on this piece, something inspired by your day, and to add another piece of paper each week. I interpreted the things going on around me and illustrated a piece on Patriarchy. Starting from left to right, the viewer can identify a familiar character from western folklore, little red ridding hood. Earlier this year I had done an artist book on little red ridding hood, the hunter and the wolf both being male, the devouring being sexual, and the two female characters fate resting solely on the male characters in the story. Expanding upon that, the wolves and foxes in this piece all represent male entities. The little read ridding hood is surrounded by wolves, faceless and feetless because she only exists because they do. A tree form grows out of her heart, her only form of expression. She is looking back ghostly little girls, wearing masks of foxes. They are trying to put on the face of little boys, as she pulls the mask off she is disappearing. In front of these figures are heads popping up from the ground, surrounded by phallic mushrooms, poisonous, and suffocating them before they can surface. On the next panel there is a frightening looking wolf or jackal like creature howling out to the viewer. It is up to the viewer to decide if what is coming from him is some sort of phallic organ, an umbilical cord, questioning the gender, or entrails. It leads you to a flock of rabbits, then asking the question if they came from him or if they are destroying him. The answer is in the background above, an outline of a faceless girl riding a fox. In it’s mouth is an arm, relating to castration, which is somewhat of a tribute to Audition and other Asian horror films that inspire me. In the last panel an elongated form of a woman lays on the ground conscious and bare breasted. She represents the two roles women are offered by the patriarchy, sexual object and Mother. The three foxes (sons) chase the daughter (girl) to relate back to the piece, showing how this is a cycle, and also touches upon the desire for male offspring.”

Original work will be showing at the International Florence Biennale 2009. An attraction to this piece tells of a desire for energy and liberation, and an absence from thoughts of the past and future. The red tones bring you alertness and vitality. It carries a male energy, and together with the stimulating yellow tones, asks you to let go of emotional concerns in favour for a logical approach that connects you to the present moment. The yellow acts to stimulate and inspire, the red raising your temperature, and together with the female intertwining forms comes a sensual awareness of your body’s instincts.
