“Sheela-na-gig” $600 (£300)




“Sheela-na-gig” The BITCH Series Mixed Media on Cardboard. 30" x 48" Framed under glass.

Mouth. Teeth. Eye. Dream of an infected eye swarming with yellow globules that I couldn't pick off like that old Plath poem. 14th-century carvings on ancient Celtic churches/monuments, which showed female gargoyles holding open their genitalia. Unclear whether these were an admonition against feminine lust or a show of brazen grrl power. Far more likely to be the former. Sheila is a hell of a bitch.
