skulloriginal Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 now at uni a San Franciscan artists has caused a buzz. what is so shocking about this artist well she paints with her menstrual fluids. the actual paintings are interesting to look at but, is this to far, to be seen as unique? link:http://spiralingmoon.livejournal.com/2004/09/06/ i like the paintings, but imagine the smell. oh and does anyone have the link to the other artist who uses menstrual blood on DA? what are your thoughts, is this too far?

Italian5kamikaze Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 From the FAQ Don't the paintings have an odor? No. I mix in acrylic medium and the paintings have no odor except a slight acrylic smell. but still wow :? Quit. PM me if you play The Conduit to exchange friend codes.

jackattack Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just another weird person looking for attention. My carbon footprint is bigger than yours...and you know what they say about big feet. These are the times that try mens souls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilev Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 waaaaaaaaay to much free time imo nice pieces of work, why couldn't she just use paint, normal paint -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian5kamikaze Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 waaaaaaaaay to much free time imo nice pieces of work, why couldn't she just use paint, normal paint -.- Again answered in the FAQ Why don't you just use paint? Using paint is not an option. My paintings are a statement about cycles. They are affirmative images that address menstruation visually. Theres a lot more but thats basically it. Quit.

mrpez Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 looks like she just wants to be different to get more attention. seems more disgusting than artistic to me. i would not hang that painting in my house even if you paid me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warri0r45 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Along the lines of what jack said, it's probably a statement for attention, but this kind of stuff does work because we're obviously talking about it now. I think it's pretty interesting. The paintings look detailed and well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian5kamikaze Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I doubt she does it for attention seeing as how she doesnt promote them in art galleries. Quit. PM me if you play The Conduit to exchange friend codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpez Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 either way its still disgusting. i cant wait for impersonators to come along and try to mimic this "style" if you can call it that. ill let your imagination concoct what kind of materials impersonators would use.

warri0r45 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I doubt she does it for attention seeing as how she doesnt promote them in art galleries. If it wasn't for attention then she'd use normal paint. She said it's to make a statement. There's nothing wrong with making a statement, but people making them know that it works and gets people's attention. either way its still disgusting. i cant wait for impersonators to come along and try to mimic this "style" if you can call it that. ill let your imagination concoct what kind of materials impersonators would use. I hardly think so. It's a taking a natural bodily cycle which is perceived to be disgusting and making it into good looking art. It's only disgusting to you because all you think of is a bleeding uterus wall when looking at the art. Not everyone finds this stuff disgusting. I couldn't care less that it's menstrual cycle blood. I think it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supanova Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 that is just really quite disgusting... sure, the painting looks quite good, but it's still disgusting :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkofDeath Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Her point, or motivation to use such fluids, and then the 'theme' in which she is using is quite beautiful to read in theory, I want to say brilliant but not really. Regardless I don't think there's any other kind of fluid that can be used as paint that would fit her theme, or 'journal' as she discussed on the site. I think it's pretty cool and interesting to what she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm if I remember rightly from the Phobia thread, someones got a phobia of menstrual blood. cant remember who it is though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulloriginal Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 a phobia of menstrual blood it'd suck if they were female :lol: and if you look past the fact thats its blood the art is brilliant. my major question is how much blood would she use on some of those paintings :?

rushrock Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 An interesting idea. The art looks pretty good, and I like the idea of using the fluids to help describe the symbol and meaning of her art. I don't really see a problem with this. People can do what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
