For this blog Entry I wanted to use images that gross me out....

                                                                          Porn Grid (#2) 
                                                                         Marilyn Minter
                                                             1989, enamel on metal, 24 x 30 inches


                              I picked this piece of work because it is shocking and also very colorful.

     I picked this one because I love when artists draw on photographs, it does not happen nearly as often as it should.

                                        Mickalene Thomas, Afro Goddess with Hand Between Legs, 2006, C-print


 I liked this photograph because the subject and her surrounding are so interesting with the patterns in everything in the room and on her, and then you have this beautiful woman, taking full control of her sexuality....the only reason I put it with this grouping of gross, is because she is touching herself, I am pretty conservative and this makes me blush....








Jordyn Dorrance, Parking, 2011

I this images weirds me out because of the drips on the ceiling. This is a working parking garage and it looks ancient because of these drips, it looks like a cave.




Jordyn Dorrance, Patch, 2010

I am sure everyone can guess why this photograph grosses me out, he loves that candy bar.




Jordyn Dorrance,  The Dinner Table, 2011

I found this grouping of grossness on a table where one might eat, often, I almost threw up, so naturally, it needed to be photographed.
