the nervous moment

today i unveiled my vulnerability and our anonymous intimacy.......i was in a right state...scattered and confused....there was a moment when the only thing that was present was the discussion and debate....charged, decharged and blurred

this was the first 'public' presentation of the 'documentation'. the discussion, reactions and the process are the art piece.

thank you

unraveling my shame & vulnerablity

this is just the beginning. i have been exploring how i can present this project in one piece. the options are endless. the object on its own has power.

what it needs is a new point of view!

and in case you were wondering...

they don't smell too bad
and working with them is oddly comforting.
we are all similar, i am not alone.
thank you.

i have discovered

1. wearing panty liners daily increases discharge, u need to wear them more & buy more & promotes the need to wear them
   
2. your dirty underwear is worth money online ranging from 25 - 80 usd
3. in japan you can buy dirty underwear in vending machines

the first one from far

oh my you are amazing!
the packages are coming in, this is the honourable 1st one.



its exciting and very interesting to hear to all of your reactions, what you go through as you choose the perfect pairs to send to me...here are some of them.

i feel just like that piece right now-- skinny, angles, wobbly but holding together -- only much shorter! i found myself picking through my laundry tentatively --thinking, good lord, i can't send her the worst ones. and also how do they get so stretchy - or is that actually my shape. at made me think….

i think I'm more on the side of "I'm not sure about this one". i'm not sure what my femininity has to do with my dirty underwear neither do i feel to share or expose such an intimate piece of clothing.

hey you wild woman! this idea is fantastic. uncomfortable, crazy, fantastic. I've saved some panties for you and am going to send them next week. I had a very intimate reflection in doing this and I appreciate that project forced me to "go there.

the process is intense and wonderous, each avenue of investigation leads to more questions. some of the questions are broad & deal with issues of being a woman today, other questions are more about differences, coming of ages, rights of passage and then others are about me and how i relate to my body, my underwear....

the conversations i am having are part of the celebration, this is the art piece right here. asking myself, you and eachother questions about an everyday piece of our lives and taking some time to look at it a fresh.

and then of course there is just the aesthetics of underwear...a work of art in its own right.
