The Art of Menstruation at the Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health Art of Jacqueliyn Rixon Below: "Encrusted Lace" (menstrual blood and glass beads on antique lace) and silk Below: "After Vesalius 1543" MORE art of Jacquelyn Rixon NEXT artist: Isa Sanz See all the artists in the links in the left-hand column. Jacquelyn Rixon's - the artist's - statement: I incorporate notions of the visceral: blood-staining - the alluring body. Mine is a public show of things deemed impolite by my society. Menstruation is to be dealt with quietly still. For years I have created with soap and hair, enthralled by the materials and their implications.I began to use my menstrual blood more recently, acknowledging that I entered my forties with menses intact, knowing I'll leave without them. My aim is always to produce work that is beautiful and enticing; to draw in the viewer before the materiality of the piece is revealed and a reaction provoked. This play of seduction and subsequent repulsion interests me greatly. All art and the artist's statement are copyright 2009 Jacquelyn Rixon NEXT artist: Isa Sanz See all the artists in the links in the left-hand column.
