I am a world renowned professional artist, photographer and sculptor. I'm known as the artist behind The Great Wall of Vagina (see link at bottom) - a sculpture intended to ease genital anxiety and fight social stereotypes. My work has been shown in museums and galleries around the world, I do a lot of public speaking and am frequently in the media. In other words I'm legit!

LIFE CAST SCULPTURES - I run the world's most successful body casting studios (in UK and Florida) with clients all over the world. Largely I work to commission but often need models for particular pieces or to help work out new experimental poses.

PHOTOS - The Physical Photography series of experimental, photographic collages are my latest offering. These unusual body portraits are created without the use of a conventional camera. Instead I use a modified digital scanner to achieve the results I am after. A single image can can be made of over 60 individual scans collaged together and take over an hour to create. It is a very collaborative process in which my models are very involved in the creative output.

Using this process I have created posters for Breast Cancer UK. These involve scanning just boobs and boobs in bras. It's a lot of fun and for a good cause so if you are passing Brighton come along and do it!

PAID WORK: For larger and longer casting jobs like full bodies there is always a good fee. For medium sized personal project I'm always fair and up for negotiation based on your needs.

UNPAID OPPORTUNITIES: For the smaller projects I only require a model for 30 minutes or so and for some pieces I need hundreds of models. It makes payment a little tricky. Most people just do it for fun, or to say they've worked with me and to have some new and unusual stuff in their portfolio. I'm happy to share photos of the process and the finished piece with you.
