Amenorhea (10)

Amenorrhea (9)

At first glance the painting is a series of blooming and wilting orchids. A closer examination, however, reveals more vaginal forms. The overall color and form of the piece suggest that the orchids/vagina symbolize the physical limitations and eventual decay of the body.

In the lower left hand corner of the piece are three organic forms that fade into the vast emptiness of the page. The overall color and composition of the drawing evokes emotions that we often feel when we think of our emotional and physical weaknesses or death.

Using impermanent materials: oil based clay, paper, and roots, I molded a life size bust of myself. The face retains a peaceful expression while the body is made out of growing orchids and roots. The cavity in the center of the chest, were breasts should be, alludes to a suppressed maturity. Except for the platform, the entire piece is painted black to reflect on the eventual decomposition of the piece and the body it represents.
