2024
From June 2023-June 2024, I saved my menstrual blood. Inspired by the harsh Midwest winters, I fashioned the liquid into an icicle.
Kept in a freezer in Iowa City,until August 3rd, 2024, when the icicle was placed in a sun room and left to melt on a white cotton cloth for 2 hours and 42 minutes.
Blood Icicle
18 fluid ounces of menstrual blood was shaped into an icicle and displayed in a freezer, Iowa City, 2024.
KRV
The following weeks the cloth was left to dry. KRV is an artifact from this melting process.
