The Art of Menstruation at the Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health
"FOUR CHOCOLATE EATING DAYS PER MONTH"
30"X 40" CIBACHROME PRINTS WITH BLACK PLASTIC LETTERING
Artist Sarah McCutcheon writes,
This piece is about one of my own personal relationships, one that
occurs four days each month when my body demands chocolate. It is a menstrual
craving when my hormones lose control, I have to have chocolate, I would
kill for it! The rest of the 21 days of the month remain for the most part
chocolate free, I can only eat one or two chunks before feeling sick, but,
as that 'Time of the month' approaches, I can eat pounds of the stuff and
never feel in the slightest bit queasy. People who are close to me ensure
that there is chocolate close to hand at this particular time.
The images in this piece of work reflect two cycles: one is that of
the chocolate bar itself and its speedy demise, and the other reflecting
the menstrual cycle:
1. The Need 2. The cause 3. The Irrationality 4. The Sanity
