I have a complicated relationship with intimacyI have not always shown respect for myself and therefore allowed others to do the same To be honest, I have never had a happy experience with itI don't blame myself anymore; I will never be the same This is the biggest reason I started painting him, I didn't know him anymore, I hated him, I hated what was done to him, what he carried and that he still longed for intimacy.
To see him from a neutral perspective, to see nothing but a living body that simply existsI come from a perspective of respect and a need to understand my body and my relationship with it.
I have a complicated relationship with sex and intimacy. I have not always treated myself with respect and there for let others do the same. To be honest, have I never had a pleasant experience with it. I don't blame self anymore; I will never be the same. It is the biggest reason why I started painting my body, I did not recognize it anymore, I hated my body, I hated what it was, I hated whatened to it, what it carried and that still longed for intimacy.
I needed to see it from a neutral viewpoint, to see nothing but a living body simply existing.
I come from a view of respect and a need to understand my body and my relationship with it.
