The female genitalia have long been a source of fascination, recently of celebration but generally of confusion.

Current thinking is that the creation of images of different types of vulvas, is the preserve of pornographers, erotic artists and feminists, but British artist Jamie McCartney, he created a monumental sculpture, on the most intimate of places 400 women understood his message and volunteered to participate in this artwork.

McCartney hopes this sculpture, relieve that anxiety and help fight the trend of lip cosmetic surgery has seen an exponential increase in recent years, the number of operations is doubling year on year and are often made ​​without proper knowledge of what constitutes a "normal vulva" in appearance

Excerpt

When French photographer Olivier Valsecchi won the Hasselblad Masters Award in 2012, he was asked by the camera-maker to create a new set of photos that represented one word: "evoke." The result of that abstract brief is Klecksography, a photographic reimagining of the inkblot test.

Popularized by the Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach, inkblot tests (also known as "Rorschach tests") require people to find form in abstract patterns. The way patients go about interpreting the inkblots is analyzed by a psychologist in order to diagnose mental disorders. Widely used in the second half of the 20th century, Rorschach tests are still studied and utilized in some fields of psychology today.
