 Posted: 01/13/03 - 13:38 Post subject: From the RifRaf Fine Arts Department - Menstrual Art
| Quote: | | My intention in making paintings with my menstrual blood is to create beauty out of something most people avoid. It is not my intention to shock, disgust, or enrage anyone. The paintings are visual markers of my body's cycles. I make the paintings because I enjoy the creative time to myself each month. My interest in showing them is breaking the taboo surrounding menstrual blood and removing the feelings of shame that have been associated with menstruation for so long. |
tasteful-looks like fingerpaint with red ink

I'm not here to judge anyone's art, but I can say this with absolute conviction:
I don't care what the hors d'oevres look like, this is one gallery opening I'm gonna miss.
