Eden aka Eden Ethnic Model

Who is Eden aka Eden Ethnic Model?

Eden is a Black African glamour model and alternative / fetish model. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, she moved to the United Kingdom to study aged 17. Eden grew up in a very religious household - her father was a deacon of their church, so her decision to engage in a hobby in pushing traditional notions of beauty and sexuality has always raised eyebrows in her native Zimbabwe.

Eden is a nude glamour model. She is also an erotica model. Although she does not have any limits to her nude work, she does not believe in nudity for nudity's sake. As such, she has juxtaposed sexuality with horror and gore. She has also achieved several firsts in her work and has appeal to different ethnicities, males and females, young and old alike. A central point to her nude glamour work is to demystify the meaning attributed to nudity. Although Britain has a widespread culture of silence to open sexual expression, much brims under the surface in terms of sexual exploration. Eden embodies what is exciting and unusual about the way the British choose to express themselves. Having studied various notions of sexuality, as well as how they evolved through the centuries in Britain, she believes her work expands on her education - with artist as object of study - and she has met many interesting and colourful characters along the way.

Eden is an academic, but firmly believes that women have suffered sexual as well as other forms of repression for many generations. "Just because a woman has an education and an idea what she wants from life doesn't mean she can't still be a sexual being." Modelling for Eden has always been a form of self-expression. Using her body as a means to convey her message, she has controversially pushed the bar with such alternative pieces as vampire eroticism, embodying fantasy and mythical female entities, warrior women, shibari bondage, and different depictions of powerful and dominant female figures. Her works have appeared in specialist publications and through her various collaborations on controversial and thought-provoking projects. When transformed through the use of different prostheses, her features are in stark contrast to the fresh-faced innocence that are her normal demeanour.
