About this artwork
16 x 10 cm / 8 x 10 cm (Canvas sizes)
Oil, paper thread and gouache on canvas
This two-part miniature painting depicts a one-breasted, hairy-chested torso pierced by blood-dyed antennae, and a bound foot growing out of soil. Whether it be the Amazonian warrior woman who amputates the right breast to facilitate hunting, or the Chinese morbid foot-binding practice, this work comments on the bodily modification that women impose on themselves for… survival needs. The carnal bodies are intentionally likened to plants, blossoming in pikes.
