Widening the Cycle:

A Menstrual Cycle & Reproductive Justice Art Show

Jena Tegeler

Red titled works will be at Boston show

Bathroom Sculpture reimagines the culture of tampons as a playful break from the conventional attitudes of a discreetness associated with menstruation. The sculpture’s ideal hanging place in a private bathroom suggests a sincere acknowledgement of a daily activity, which may be as routine as brushing one’s teeth. The brightly colored tips of the knitted tampons shift away from the passionate, rich, representations of menstruation that seek to reclaim the natural process as something bold and powerful. Rather, these friendly tampons are made precious and in6mate in their hand-knitted softness. This is not an a>empt to erase or shame women and their body fluids by way of products with sweetly scented ointments and pink packaging. It is a celebration of many monthly encounters with these cotton forms.
