I realise how in my body of work the bodies of men that appear are the average guy, towards the muscular. One of the reasons I use these bodies is that I usually look for vintage photos and these are the naked or seminaked bodies I find. There is no diversity there. Very few bigger bodies there. And as the possessor of a huge body, it kind of hurts how underrepresented people like me are. Guys like me are often afraid to take the shirt off unless they know their audience is going to be receptive and devoid of criticism and judgement (We judge ourselves a lot already!) I think there is a need of tis representation as well. This is why I put myself and my non normative body out there. Hoping to be able to add to the diversity of representation. #collage #art #cutandpaste #bodyneutral #diversity #representation #gay #lgbtiq+ https://www.instagram.com/p/CY0qpGuKpGX/?utm_medium=tumblr

And another thing: I both have fat and I AM fat. Being fat is part of who I am. It is part of my identity. I cannot be #bodyneutral. My body has been politicized since the moment I got here and it is my responsibility to own every inch of it. Even the bad parts. Even the hard parts. ESPECIALLY THE BAD AND HARD PARTS. Body liberation is not pretty or happy or fun but it will surely set you free and that’s good enough for me. Nobody said it’d be easy.
