The Nude: Insight & Imagination

The Nude: Insight & Imagination

…potent, compelling, dangerous territory…
…encountered another me, a richer presence…
…creative, rewarding and artistically challenging…
…really helps me feel good about my body…

These are words from the women of The Nude: Insight & Imagination, describing the experience of making art with their naked forms. They provide a backdrop to this photographic study of a disparate group of women, conveying insight into their individual stories. The book holds a series of photographic profile vignettes of twenty-eight artists with unique histories and characters, who I have been fortunate enough to know.
