Jaz is a 25-year-old unapologetic feminist using the power of nudes to spread the message that our bodies will not be censored, shamed or sexualised without our consent. The most popular part of this revolution is taking part in the Nude Commission Process where Jaz transforms every inch of your nude form into a masterpiece . Nudes by women, for women. Get involved!
Creating a new meaning for female nudity...
|
"It feels as if nudity and sex are naturally intertwined, after centuries of patriarchal structures cementing this notion in place. Can we really look at our own bodies and breasts with a purely neutral mind, after a lifetime of conditioning that they are there for straight-male pleasure?
Mude Threads’ mission is to celebrate the empowered female form on our own terms, in the face of censorship and sexualisation of our bodies. For me, embroidering real women onto clothing has never been about ‘removing’ the sexual aspect of our bodies. Instead, it is about making room for an empowered version of nakedness in a world that only has space for sexualised and objectified nakedness. If my mission was to remove all sexuality from the female form, I’d be fighting a losing battle. It would also be a battle I wouldn’t want to be a part of – our bodies should, and always will, be naturally intertwined with sex" "The rules suddenly shift when women realise they can take nudes for themselves as an act of rebellion and/or self-love. When women acknowledge that the only viewers of this intimate image are themselves and an artist (a woman myself), any burden of appeasing to the male gaze can evaporate. Nakedness becomes empowering. Instead of avoiding spending time with their own nakedness, these women challenge themselves to spend hours with every inch of their bodies, for no reason other than art. Power-poses replace ‘sexy’ poses. Body rolls replace tummy-sucks." Read more in Jazz's article: The Empowered Nude - Is Female Nudity Always Sexual? |

Excerpt from 'The Unconventional Artist Redefining Body Image'
The Uncommon Muse - www.theuncommonmuse.com
"U.K.-based artist Jazz Moodie creates art that challenges the notion that not all bodies are beautiful, and through her work she has created a community of empowered women. After learning to hand-embroider while studying in France, Jazz began experimenting with life drawings, embroidering them onto fabric using a Kantan needle. What began as a personal project to bolster her own self confidence has grown into a small business called Mude Threads, which she runs out of her home, alongside working full-time. Now she sells apparel, tote bags, and cushion covers proudly displaying nakedness for all to see. By using her own body as inspiration for many of her designs, Jazz has shared how the process has helped her reconnect with her body after being oversexualized throughout her life for her petite frame and large bust. She crafts each piece with the intention to fight misogyny, celebrate the female form, and help women take back control of their bodies."
