Gosha kindly left me her notes from her speech at the preview - whew, as I was so busy taking photos and generally getting in everyones way I didn't write them down!
Welcome everyone and thank you so much for coming. I have had this idea for many years-since 2007. It is personal journey; a journey of self discovery as a woman.
Welcome everyone and thank you so much for coming. I have had this idea for many years-since 2007. It is personal journey; a journey of self discovery as a woman.
Through these pictures I want to show the inner beauty of a woman in all her emotional states. Through the body of a woman I’m trying to express emotional states I have experienced, and which I think are universal. All women will experience these emotional states at some point in their life. I want to show womankind in all her complexity, vulnerability and beauty. The women are naked to represent bare emotion. This is a stripping down of the layers to represent a pure, emotional state.
I want my women (who are a manifestation of womankind) to be accepted, desired and loved, just as they are.
Thanks Gosha, now have a look at the images of both the work and some of the people who attended the preview and see what you think?
