Karen Finley

I'm not sure how into all of her work I am, but she works a lot with natural substances (milk, breast milk, honey) which are all inherently feminine and she uses them in a performative way to interact with her body and identity as a woman. It's hard to find out a lot of information about her work on the internet, except that her work started out in the punk movement and is often criticized for being obscene. She seems to be a feminist artist, yet she was also very proud of being featured in playboy and women-empowerment magazines simultaneously. The project I'm featuring here is a series a photographs and a performance that she has done multiple times in the past decade involving honey.
