Hello all,
Well I have created a facebook page to
accompany my blog. I think as more people become aware of this project and get
involved this will be an easy forum to share ideas pictures, and so on.
Today I would like to share with you some
work by Shetland based artist Samantha Jack.
When I saw these and read the small blurb I
totally related as, like Sam, my main body issue is weight and its something I
think about and try to manage daily. I think these images are powerful and will
strike a chord with many woman in
Britain and far beyond.
Sam's work is in the obsessions section of Issue 2 of Story Magazine witch begins on pge46 where she as a short description of the work printed and her actual work is on pages 50 and 51
After seeing these images it made me
think about my opinions and behaviour in relation to my main body issue and I
made this video. I guess in a way this is an unconscious reaction to Sam Jacks
images.
I feel the video is very personal. If I’m
honest I was very nervous making it, and was unsure weather or not to share it.
But I feel this is a very organic project and un-planned spontaneous pieces of
work like this one are important.
I want to stress that this project is not
about just weight issues its about all body issues affecting woman today. Soon
I hope to share with you stories from other women covering a wide range of
issues and topics. If you want to share your story or thoughts in any way, get
in touch.
A big thank you to Samantha Jack for allowing me to share her work. Sam works around a variety of issues using different mediums. If you wish to look at her work in more depth visit this page:http://www.facebook.com/jamsackart
