ODE to ALL VIRUSES
Vagina, an Evil Averting, Fertility Enhancing Archtypol Symbol

Shock

The
Velocity
of this vehicular emotion
lifts
unprepared feet
into turbulent flight
a shocking sight
the terror of great plight
through the emohistory of madness
for all the badness that's been done
out there
Yet one day
scattered thoughts will line up
Old memories will dawn faces
in strange, yet orderly places
and all will appear crystal clear
in reflection
let us grant a genuflection
for this gentler
still mighty giant
within

At this Moment.....in time
...fear...anxiety...worry....
all things I do
try not to do
but...still do...
at this moment in time
especially
Deep down
I know
I have a handle on it
*sigh*
I still have a desire
to control....
....something
breathe, breathe, breathe
oh, breath
so deeply satisfying
the air
so crisp, brisk
and clear

ICONOGRAPHIC CHANGE: SACRED AND PUBLIC ART
ã j. Madison Rink
Archival Triptych Print
Iconographic Change
ana.suromai
History is written by survivors......
There is a centuries long, perhaps even hidden history covering some twenty thousand years, dating as far back as the Upper Palaeolithic art scene when the image of the Vagina was iconic, honored and revered as Sacred and Public Art. It was a powerful, socially significant, fertility enhancing, evil averting symbol and art, most of which was forcefully destroyed by the Christians during the 17th century.
The environmentally sculpted by Mother Nature triptych and image of the Vagina above is entitled "at One." The concept of being One with Nature and therefore One with All is a consciously integrated theme in my body of art entitled “Primitive Nature.” This triptych symbolizes all women "At One" at this time in our history. I am now increasingly hopeful and greatly inspired by the ever increasing and united numbers of women's voices, supported by more men than ever, speaking up about the world wide and serious and devastating epidemic of violence and sexual assault against women and young girls. I have come to believe, since beginning to exhibit this particular image that a critical aspect of this chronic epidemic which surely contributes to the root of this escalating crisis is the way in which most people, including many women view the image of the Vagina. To many it is considered a taboo and more often than not reduced in perception to little more than blatant pornography. Why? We must reject this view that is shrouded in the misrepresentation that the vagina is a “vile, dirty and repugnant, even evil” image. Instead, we surely must re-claim the centuries long symbolic history and embrace the image of the vagina when it was greatly honored and revered as a sacred, healing, artful symbol; a representation of elegant beauty, balance, harmony and fertility from which all human life is birthed.
As a very young child who endured devastating sexual assault, the recognition and mirroring of this environmentally sculpted and natural human likeness in nature was a profoundly enlightening and healing experience for me. In the very moment I first viewed this image, I was reminded of a mysteriously deep, circular in nature physical, scientific and spiritual ancient understanding which underscores the ancient concept that we are all one with Nature and as such we are One with ALL. With this kind of healing clarity, I was inspired to create a multicultural representation of the same rock subject, utilizing different lighting, in order that all women could see themselves reflected in nature in this elegantly beautiful, sacred and healing way.
