Menstruation

The menstruation cycle is a natural function of a woman’s body. I represented this concept by making a quilt that traditionally is considered women’s work, in the form of a calendar. On each square patch, I drew a different image of the cells in the uterus lining on various days of the menstrual cycle. The last two patches are the beginning of the next cycle. These last two were left blank to emphasize the pervious 28 patches in one full cycle.
