I was looking at kiki simth and I found her work very interesting , that was a suggestion from one of the artists that was giving me a critique... it was inspiring and i got some ideas.


Kiki Smith is a feminist multi-media artist who, for the past twenty years, has explored the body from inside to outside, conflating the borders between the two, and has helped to restore the human body to a central place in contemporary art. Though western art has long been fascinated with the human body, especially the female body, the body parts she is interested are not typically found in art. She examines body functions and parts that are culturally taboo and embarrassing. Many of her works are body fragments, such as prints taken from organs or a porcelain pelvis on a pedestal. Blood, fluids, sperm, tears all appear in her works as emotionally charged elements. Her art is messy, open, uncomfortable. It is indecorous rather than polite, personal rather than official, unpredictable rather focused, meandering rather than goal oriented. Her figures bridge the gap between seductive beauty and grotesque body, open, leaking, uncontained.
