I wanted to this representation of a vagina to seem like a gate which life enters, that creates ripples in space and time. I emphasized a sense of scale in the image so it was this huge magical, colorful thing to be worshiped and celebrated in all its glory.
The vibrant colors and swirling patterns represent the energy and vitality of this remarkable part of the body. I also believe that by celebrating the vagina, we can help to break down the taboo that so often surrounds it. It’s a body part- and a really special one.
Sometimes I am met with speculation and hesitance when I work on these kinds of paintings. I hear a lot of times-“Why would you want to paint that?”
Well, a million reasons but right now because it’s inspiring to me.
And really, we’re all here because of them so whats the issue haha.
