Written Within the Body:

An afternoon of Readings and Talks with Lone Mørch, Sarah Kornfeld, September Williams and Kristin Kaye

Copperfield in San Rafael. Details to come. Please join us!
 

Embody by Lone Morch

Embody is a tribute to the sensual body. In photos & prose, Mørch examines and illuminates the light and shadows in women's bodies, minds and psyches. With a loving gaze, artistic nerve, and poetry, the book reveals how women today work hard to discover and get in touch with their own bodies, on their own terms. For the past fourteen years nearly a thousand women of all ages have found the courage and freedom before Lone's camera to explore the many expressions of beauty, sensuality and eroticism in themselves – on their own terms. The male gaze has dominated the representation of women for the past 150 years. Embody reveals what happens when women choose to be photographed by women, and decide how they want to be seen. 

Lone Mørch is an award-winning author, photographer and speaker whose work lives at the intersection of art, body, identity, culture and life’s journey. A Danish native, she has for the past 25+ years traveled, lived, loved and worked in Asia, Europe and USA. She’s the founder of Lolo’s Boudoir and has helped a thousand women find healing, transformation, adventure and celebration through her photography. Her previous work included the award-winning memoir Seeing Red: A Woman’s Quest for Truth, Power and the Sacred about her own path towards liberation. Her photos and essays have been featured in Danish and American magazines, newspapers and blogs such as InStyle, Cosmopolitan, People, SF Chronicle, Huffington Post, Light Journal, East Bay Express and 7x7.  She splits her time between Denmark and USA.

Tree Dreams by Kristin Kaye

When seventeen-year-old Jade Reynolds witnesses a violent clash between a protesting tree sitter and a local logger, she runs as far as she can from the battles that plague her home and from the mysteries of the redwood forest. But the ancient redwoods are embedded in her psyche—she feels their call even in the dark and forgotten back alleys of Portland, Oregon where she’s hiding out. She soon becomes entangled with a lovable misfit and a band of radical slackers, environmentalists, and anarchists, and finds herself living 100 feet high in the canopy of a redwood grove, trying to decide whose side she’s on: the logging community she’s known her entire life or the environmentalists who are risking their lives for the future of the forest. To find a way beyond the division between Us and Them, Jade turns to the ancient trees themselves—and the thread-thin web that connects us all. 

Kristin Kaye is an author, ghostwriter and teacher whose work sits at the intersection of nature, narrative and spirituality. Tree Dreams: A Novel is forthcoming in April, 2018 from Spark Press. The novel gave rise to a global tree tagging campaign that celebrates the myriad ways we are connected to each other, to nature and to our future. Tree Dreams tags now hang in over 20 states and 12 countries around the world. Kristin’s previous work includes Iron Maidens: The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World, which details her experience directing twenty-five of the world’s strongest and most muscular women in an off-Broadway show. The book was a finalist for the Oregon Book Awards, and described by Utne Reader as “one of 5 new titles for women who resist easy definition.

Book Release Party - Aarhus

Dear friends, colleagues and network. 

My new book Embody is hot-off-the-press and I want to celebrate with you. 

Embody is a poetic, lush and evocative tribute to the female body and nuanced essence. In fine art photos and prose, the book gives a rare peek into my intimate photographic work with women of all ages during the past fourteen years. Nearly a thousand Danish and American women have undressed before my camera to explore the many expressions of beauty, sensuality and eroticism in themselves - on their own terms.

Most photography of women has been dominated by the male gaze. In Embody we get to experience which gazes and images emerge when women choose to be photographed, by a woman, and are free to decide how they wish to be seen. 

Kvindemuseet in Aarhus, Denmark hosts the festivities.

March 7, 5 pm to 6:30 pm

Come have a look. Meet the designers. Buy the Book. Sip Champagne. Celebrate. 

See you there. 
Lone

Note: please confirm attendance in order for us to plan for enough drinks and books. NO later than March 4. Thanks. To lone@lonemorch.com
