Silkscreen print, gold cord, wire and dyed tampons on canvas. 20 inches x 15 inches.
Jennifer was investigating crucifixions; this resulted in a series of photographs where she assumed various crucifixion-style poses. The images were digitally manipulated and silk-screened onto canvas. The canvas was then stretched over frames and displayed in the shape of a crucifix connected by a gold cord that wraps around her wrist. The top canvas includes a crown of thorns embellished with blue flowers. The flowers are made from tampons and they are blue because that is the colour of the dye used in TV adverts to show how absorbent they are. This piece represents Jennifer’s extremely painful periods and how she felt she was being crucified every month.
