Marilyn Minter

Marilyn Minter fueled my obsession with the abject during graduate school when I was intrigued and disgusted by period blood, spit, zits and other bodily taboos. The idea of these revolting features being similar to sexuality in that they are fetishized, censored and revered is amazing to me. This inspired my love of the boundaries of the body, inside/outside and the dichotomy of acceptable/unacceptable, while titillating and disgusting me all at the same time.
