Notes

One in a series of 20 life-sized collaborative photographic portraits originally commissioned for the 19th Biennale of Sydney 'You Imagine What You Desire', held 21 Mar 2014 - 9 Jun 2014.
"Julia Featherstone was arrested in 1980 for nude bathing. Believing nudity is a natural human state, she objected all the way to the Supreme Court. So in 1984, Fraser vs Featherstone found her not guilty, and nude bathing was decriminalised. The workshop celebrated by making her part of the history of the nude in western art."--From artist's notes on subjects.
