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.
