condom bra poem: (inside bra)
lingerie is meant to seduce--
lingerie is usually worn by women, condoms are usually worn by men
yet the ramifications
birth control, sexually transmitted diseases seem to be
the responsibility--resolution
address undress redress
is woman's
(poem inside celphone underpants)
"Going Protean"
hello cel,
is that your cel, phone or mine?
I am as free as I want to be
interpretations, that is your privilege.
I'm just exercising my privilege as a US Citizen
It's called The First Amendment
I am a Mae West from the 21st century
Is that a gun in your pocket
or is it pointed at my head?
not going protean for you baby,
going protean is art
going protean for me
geo-sexual politics
I know I have it better than my sisters, globally speaking
but HELLO
we sisters still don't have the most basic human rights, globally
speaking!
If I go protean, it's for me!
I want freedom of expression to resonate globally,
do you get that?
hello cel,
do you get that on a cellular level?
hello?
* These 2 art works are separate pieces that I placed together because they
address painful issues re: women but like "women's roles" in many cultures
they appear ornamental and celebratory when "underneath" them -- in this case
inside them lay "painful truths" that globally we don't want to look at...
They are also obvious references to consumerism, advertising,
objectification/object/product dehumanization, etc.
