Wow. I had high hopes I was about to see a combination of artistry and nudism coming together in a formal educational context. What I encountered instead was a political attempt to justify lack of creativity. She apparently takes herself and her political philosophy, if you can call it that, seriously. But really, hiding your genitalia behind plants has pretty much been done by every textile artist that ever portrayed Adam and Eve. Not exactly new or clever. She couples that with excuses (blaming tech[who can’t buy a converter anywhere these days?] & too much free time) for not doing much. Very disappointing to say the least.
