I began incorporating vulva casts into my work in 2020, driven by a desire to facilitate a dialogue about this part of our bodies, which is often shrouded in shame, stigma, and subject to sexual abuse. Through these casts, I seek to celebrate and normalize the diversity of vulvas, creating art that proudly reveals what is typically hidden. This body of work serves as a direct challenge to patriarchal and heteronormative constructs that dictate and shape so many aspects of our lives. By presenting these intimate sculptures, I aim to empower individuals to reclaim their bodies and narratives, fostering a space for reflection, healing, and resistance against societal norms. This portfolio not only showcases the beauty and uniqueness of each cast but also stands as a testament to the strength and resilience of those who have participated in this project.
"I’ve never gotten to see my vulva the way other people get to see it, ever. It’s so beautiful and liberating to gaze upon something that society has said is to be shameful of.
Fuck those conditioned voices, every part of me deserves love."
"My partner gifted her vulva casting to represent sharing and entrusting me to care for her sacred parts. And in turn we casted mine. I am a boy-girl, a sweet soul, a sexual being, and a deep feeler. With who I am I knew I’d feel comfortable getting casted. I didn’t know there would be such reflections from being open in this way and taking the time to make art out of what I know to be my portal into very special energies. Since this experience I am more aware of my vulva, her sensitivity and power. She is vulnerable and magical."
" I love my non binary vulva. The opportunity to make visual loud art with parts of my body that are generally seen as taboo fills my whole soul with love and purpose and gratitude. It’s not something you can buy at a grocery store. "
