Self-confessed ‘craftivist’ Casey Jenkins is causing quite a stir with her performance piece known as ‘Casting Off My Womb’.
Not for the squeamish, it involves her placing an entire knitting ball of wool deep inside her vagina, using it to knit various garments over 28 days. She even continues to knit whilst going through menstruation…
‘If you take a good, hard look at a vulva, you realize it’s just a bit of a body. There’s nothing that is shocking or scary, you know, nothing that is going to run out and eat you up.
Each day she inserts a new spiel of wool inside herself and whilst that might seem a rather unusual practice, she admits its neither painful nor uncomfortable.
You can see more of Casey’s eye-opening performance art through her personal site casey-jenkins.com .
