I have decided to put up my Artist Statement from my Final Major Project, and my extremes now have their own folder within my gallery. It's an on-going project so watch that space(!) and my blog at www.gaspundkiss.blogspot.com
My work focuses on the extremes I thrive on and put myself through in my personal life as well as in my creative life. I have found anything extreme makes me feel more connected to the world, more intense, more sexual, spiritual and more creative. These extremes can be as simple as turning the water in the shower to freezing cold and seeing how long I can stand it even when my instincts scream, to staying awake all night so that I get in a kind of creative strange head space... to sexual experimentation. I like anything that breaks my boundaries.
By exploring my extremes through the camera I hope to let others have a glimpse of a world they havent understood before, that of sexual experimentation and opening your mind and body up to new experiences.
My work is autobiographical as I am working through habits Ive always taken for granted, odd private habits I want to explore so that a transformation can take place... Transformation of turning an uneventful private, perhaps secretive event in ones life into something with intimate significant that affects others when looked upon.
My aim is to affect the viewers in such a way that it will disrupt perceptions taken for granted and frames of reference. My work has become my life and a part of who I am, which is why I present to you the first part of my journey into exploring my extremes and broadening my horizons. My project has become such a part of my life that it has become a living breathing entity in itself... it has become the act of experimentation, learning, finding and exploring.
I found myself exploring themes of escapism, restriction, freedom, transcendence, physicality, spirituality, releases, transformation and breaking my personal boundaries.
