PIG FAT, LIPSTICK, AND DOLL PARTS

 

 

“The sentence may be compared to the body, which invites us to disarticulate it, in order that its true contents may be recomposed... if one examines it closely, the anagram is born from violent and paradoxical conflict”
-Hans Bellmer

I melt pig fat, lipstick, and plastic doll parts to create a substance with which to rub on my joints and folds of my body. Part commentary on the "Pig Farm murders" in Vancouver, and the general unjust treatment of residents of the Downtown Eastside.
