Lady Macbeth: Vulva Pendant
" Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark,
To cry 'Hold, hold!'"
Lady Macbeth is determined that her husband will become king. She is also determined that he doesnt have the stuff to do it himself- so she pushes him into brutally murdering the current king- providing the dagger for the deed. But soon Lady Macbeth is so consumed by guilt for her evil acts that she eventually loses her mind, talking of murder and trying to wash the invisible blood of her hands in her sleep.

The model for this piece is Proudence.
Because women don’t normally have a visual reference for what is normal ‘down there’. We can’t even see what we have! When we do have a visual reference it generally comes from porn in which women are chosen based on the shape of their Vulvas and are bleached, dyed, shaved and surgically altered. Porn Vulvas are like Chimeras, they do not exist in the natural world.
We use real models to show women that no matter the shape every woman is beautiful. We use real models to show women there is no standard Vulva: they are all different and perfect as is. Bleaching is NOT required.
