Do You Think They'll Consider a Piece Made of Fabric,
Thread, and Beads Fine Art Instead of Merely a Craft If
I Add a Condom Full of Piss to It? Will Shock Value
Add Substance?
Beadwork using glass, crystal, stone (quartz, amethyst,
citrine, aventurine, garnet) and other beads surrounding
a condom filled with my urine. Everything was entirely
freehanded, there was never a solid plan or outline for
anything, even the beadwork text.
The pee inside the condom darkened over the course of
several months and eventually formed solids. As the solids
formed the condom inflated and the liquid began disappearing.
In less than a year the urine began leaching through the
condom at which point I cut it off of the piece.
Glitter, phosphorescent stars, uranium glass shards,
ribbon, and a 1993 Sky Dancer doll in a jar of my urine.
My piece of shit small town high school's colours were
green and gold, a colour combination that makes me want
vomit to this day. Gold piss, green glass. The doll
represents every queer or freak ass bitch who survived
that awful place and it's generational trauma, who eventually
escaped that cesspit. A Haven for ultra-conservative men
and their overwhelmingly beige tradwives. Dangerous
for anyone who wishes to deviate from heteronormativity,
nuclear families, motherhood as a personality, a narrow
definition of womanhood.
