Blood Stained Dress Blood Stained Dress 2018 White dress embroidered to mimic menstrual blood. video document "Traditionally blood in art depicts heroism and martyrdom. However my embroidered piece, Blood Stained Dress celebrates the banal to explore menstrual taboos. Photographed across different locations, each setting adds their own narrative to the work. The images photographed on the English South Coast explore isolation and period poverty. Traditionally white dresses symbolise purity, but also represent unattainable ideals. Menstrual taboos and scepticism, intensifies the suffering of those outside society. The sea personifies human existence; the serene but deadly waves have both the power to destroy, yet also cleanse and rebuild. Not all emotional scars will heal, but accepting their existence helps to make us stronger." Blood Stained Dress 2018 Blood Stained Dress 2018 Blood Stained Dress 2018
