Artist Statement
The Miss Menses Menstrual Cup Tiara was created to embody a fictional character, Miss Menses, who displays the perils of youth through fantastical body adornment. As a pageant contestant, Miss Menses adorns herself with accessories that celebrate the transformation from girl to woman.
The Miss Menses series utilizes parts of actual feminine hygiene products, as well as quotes their form, in order to create jewelry that opposes feelings of shame or embarrassment associated with menstruation. Reconfiguring these forms for display on the body demands attention. The indelible and recurring event of menstruation throughout a woman’s life should be a source of empowerment rather than a stigma. Each piece in this series reinforces the belief that the transformation from girl to woman is beautiful, natural, and worthy of celebration.
