For me life
modelling is a profession. I have been a member of the Life Model Society in Melbourne
since 2011 however I had been modelling occasionally for a few years before
then. I remember feeling pretty awkward at 19 when I first modelled for a
couple of artists in their garret studio while I was still at art school! Now Life modelling is intrinsically linked to
my arts practise and life. My art school training included plenty of life
drawing which affords me an intimate empathy with the struggle to render the
human body real and life like in charcoal, pencil, conte, ink, paint and
clay............... As a performing
artist and dancer modelling continually feeds back information on the body, my
body’s - internal structure, proprioception and sense of embodied self. With
these wonderful experiences I feel I have the tools and skills to create anatomically
interesting and dynamic poses so that those at the drawing board can gain knowledge
and enjoy the experience of depicting the human form.
