Sexless

My series for the Womynhouse show.

Our love is a secret and your body is a drug. With a strong passion and no control, the blindness of love is seen within these two beings; however, lacking of sexuality in all forms. Attraction seeps from within because love happens from an urge where ones heartbeat slowly becomes part of their partners. Lost between their sexless entities, the passionate affair of a promiscuous rendezvous lacking gender, identity, and sexuality takes complete control.

















'Til Death Do Us Part

My most current photo series in the Womynhouse exhibit.


A vow of marriage to one's body is from the moment of birth ‘til death do us part. The dissatisfaction she had towards her own body became the determinant for a divorce, and through plastic surgery, the desire for a re-marriage to a new body was wed. The meticulous needle did the weaving onto her body to make it more appealing, but an alteration done wrong by the doctor’s failed knife caused her self-esteem to dwindle.

The new vows to her new body were unnecessary, for she was a kindhearted, beautiful and endearing woman who failed to find what she thought was “beautiful.” The beauty she possessed actually lied within - far too deep and rooted to be tainted by the surgeon's blade. But the scars will forever remind her of the decision she made to divorce herself from her body, for she now lives with her new body ‘til death do her part.






The Womnyhouse Artists

From October 16 to November 11, 2011, twelve female Loyola Marymount University painters, photographers, performers, writers, and historians will gather forty years later to present our very own “Womynhouse”. The Thomas P. Kelly Student Art Gallery will become the site for our own explorations of all things art: installations, photography, spoken word, performances, films, mixed media, poetry, prose, and the uncategorized. The room will essentially be transformed into our very own home; a place to preach, question, react, and respond to ourselves, each other, and to every engaging visitor who enters it. Using the Southern California Feminist movement that swept across the 1970s as our guide, "Womynhouse" will not only become the first all-female show at LMU, but it will also cross boundaries by giving voices to a group of passionate and talented students who are interested in spreading this language to the rest of the LMU community with frank vulnerability on pressing female issues today.
