I agree with both parties, i mean art is all about espressing yourself and the more you can make people talk the better, it must of worked this time because look at all the people talking about what she did!

But on the other hand i dont agree with her terminating lives. Women have struggled, or women who have gone through abortions and miscarriages. Shes taking something as precious as life and turning it into a project. It makes me feel sick to think that she is producing life and then destroying it for shock value....

Either it's not there or I missed it, but depending on the time frames involved I highly doubt she was pregnant OR miscarrying. AI doesn't work every time under the best of circumstances so I have to wonder what the success rate is for the DIY version.

Life isn't about finding yourself its about "creating" yourself.

I think the defintion of art is expressing yourself and your ideas in a why that can be conceptualized by your piers. Good art has a way of expressing what the artist was trying to convey in whatever medium they choose. Good art is the ability to "create" an idea or a discution about it. To have that kind of impact on people and to convey discution from objects of art, takes great skill.

I think this persons ability to be an artist, has been proven.

Think about it. If you can take a canvas, paint something on it.. or whatever she did.. and have every single person who looked at it and viewed it, suddenly feel something that you intended them to feel. Not alot of people can do that but the ones who can, are called artists.


Yes, I agree with that, but if her intent was to creat .. I don't know disgust. Well the she achieved it. Who could look at something like that and go wow, that is beautiful, amazing, or even interesting?
I mean this is my opinion but regardless I am a pretty level headed person and open to most things, but when I hear about something like this I find it rather disconcerting.

I agree that using bodly functions as art is kinda funky and I don't really agree with it.

The only problem I have is the assumed link between what this one single womans body and women everywheres' ablity to stay pregnat.

I'm not making that connection, and I don't feel its a connection that should be made.

I guess you would have to look at it this way: Most people have an abortion when it is not the right time for them or more serious circumstances. You will have the occasional irresponsible person uses it as a method of birth control. Those women who have miscarriages usually want their children and were not able to deliver for some reason. Both of which is just part of life. But she is glorifying it. Which shouldn't be done. She is in a sence mocking what happens. What happens to many women around the world who do not find the situation (either of them) anything to be glorified.

I guess we are a stagnant culture if we can consider her an artist. Maybe Elizabeth Bathory was an artist too. She just waited until they were older to kill them and bathe in their blood.

I'm pro choice...but this is way over the freaking top! I don't think I can get behind it as art. I think it's proving just how cheap life really is.

The above qoute tells all.

You need to ask youself should art be pushing the boundries of creativity?

Is wine just fermented grapes?

Is a Lambergini just a car?

Is fine art just the ablity to acuratly render a given object or scene?

I don't know.... but i can tell you if you stop pushing the boundries "creativity" stops.

But think we can both agree that her medium is rather tasteless in the view most people.

Its using shock factor for publicity. She is an art student who wants coverage and the only way you can become a household name is by doing something terribly shocking or stupid.

So they come up with a concept - fair enough. They also make sure the media is aware of this whacky concept because basically anything with shock/weirdo factor will get coverage. Lets face it if she was just painting embryos and abortions its been done over and over and its not new. But she is whoring out her concept to become a household name.

There is a guy who rolled from one side of london to the other, someone who stuck an armchair on a billboard and sat there for 30 days or something - all these things get coverage and do the art world no favours.

As far as the girl goes, if she wants to inseminate herself and give herself chemical abortions thats her call, she isnt breaking the law i just suspect that in later life she may regret it if it doesnt bring her the fortune and fame she is seeking.

some people are interesting that's for sure.


Something emotional
Something that's beautiful
Something that stands the test of time
Why are the simple things so hard to find

Speaking as someone who has had more than one miscarriage what this woman has done is just plan disgusting.
Now I do not in ANY WAY have a problem with abortion at all - if you fall pregnant and just can't have the baby, then have an abortion, and I will not judge. But to intentionally fall pregnant, just to make yourself miscarry is absolutely horrible. Do you knwo how mnay women would kill to be able to sustain a pregnancy for the whole 40 weeks? This woman is sick and disgusting and a coward.
