Sum of the Whole
2005
Resin, acrylic, and fiberglass
96 ½" h x 72" w x 41 ¾" d

"Sum of the Whole" , commemorates my 50th birthday. In the installation, a harmonious and repetitive grouping made of vaginal shapes are scattered along the wall and floor. The anatomical shape celebrates femininity without the shame and repression of societal puritanical view, reclaiming the body as natural and powerful force.
