My buddy Adina. We exhibited our works together in mid-March. I was responsible for writing a critique of her work, but found little to criticize. The condom bed functions really well as a stand-alone piece. she debated putting up drawings with it, but correctly settled for the bed and the bed alone. Her work is concerned with social responsibility and harm reduction. Aids and STD's run rampant through through the low-class sex trade, and Adina has put together a piece that opens that seedy world to debate among the art-versed. It presents a new face of the use of the bed in the history of art, where it is most typically used as a prop-device for some too-young Venus.
and yes, those are hundreds of hand-stitched condoms.
