Eesh... this is the work of a British artist, Ingrid Berthon-Moine. The first picture is a woman wearing her own menstural blood as lipstick. The artist declares this "Menstrual Activism" stating, "Menstrual activism certainly isn’t new. In 1970, in The Female Eunuch, Germaine Greer memorably wrote that “if you think you are emancipated, you might consider the idea of tasting your own menstrual blood – if it makes you sick, you’ve a long way to go, baby”. I do not find this comfortable, however it is a medium that caught my attention.
Artist Lani Beloso has a problem called menorrhagia, where she has 3 times heavier periods and painful. A GIRLS WORST NIGHTMARE! She claims to combat this problem by making period blood art.. Gross.
Im unsure of the photographer but this representation defines how I feel about periods. Uncomfortable and disturbing. A part of puberty I find myself cursing myself for every 28 days. :(
Below is a picture of my last project using Text with art.
