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.
