Bethany Haeseler's Artist Statement
It’s often said that you are what you eat. But what if we wore what we ate?
By adorning the body with sweets and confectionaries, I am exploring the relationship between the femininity, fashion, and women as objects of/for consumption. The female form is not denied, but instead it is challenged by its very being. This is not about the incorrect perception of others, but a skewed perception of ones self.

skin and bones
oh no, no no no
no, my dear
you look like a mess
too much of you has been removed
how can you feel more beautiful
more like yourself
when there is so much
of you missing
