Memento
Materials used: Marble tiles, wood glue, red acrylic paint Artist Statement: My memento is a symbol of the first time I got my period. It happened in a public restroom when I was 11 or 12 years old. These bodily changes we experience as women may shock us and even make us feel shame. I wanted to create a tangible piece of that shame forced on to us at an early age by Western culture. It is a scary experience - I wanted my memento to show that.
