Art (With Wings?)


Menstrual cycle exhibition features tampons

A London art gallery is to stage an exhibition on the menstrual cycle, featuring sculptures made from tampons.

Lyn Huso's Right On event runs at the Coningsby Gallery in London from November 24 to December 6.

The solo exhibition will feature sculptures made from organic cotton tampons and natural sanitary pads.

They'll be combined with recycled handbags, telephones and bicycles.

Huso says in coming up with her pieces, she's created what she calls 'T.art' work.

The Coningsby Gallery says Huso's art invites debate from both men and women on the age-old taboo of the female menstrual cycle.

Ahem. No comment.

(Actually, this blog thoroughly encourages the free flow of, er, debate. Such exhibits should happen regularly: every twenty-eight days, perhaps?)
