An installation I did back in March at Torture Garden has got a brief write up in the June 09 issue of Scarlet magazine. It’s not entirely accurate, but you know what they say about publicity, and I still get a thrill each time I see my name (or face) in print.
In the Scarlet piece, Sarah Berry writes:
A DJ announced that Trauma Unit would shortly be performing and I settled down to watch a caged girl wearing black underwear and a medical collar putting pins in her arm. After flailing around she pulled out the pins, caught the blood in a bowl and then drank it. Some of the audience walked out, but I was rooted to the spot, equally horrified and in awe.
I feel I should point out that I didn’t drink any blood, I just poured it over myself, as you can vaguely see in the picture above. As for pins, I always use hypodermic needles for these kinds of piercings. Still, nice little write up.
