| Bio: | "Yeah, but is it art?”
“Derisive humor is a standard response to female sexuality," Sebastian began, cutting short the snickers from Gamble’s corner of the conference table, "especially in contemporary settings where flogging and stoning are no longer acceptable methods for enforcing misogynist ideals. ”
“Historically, reactions to such expression are much more overt. This carving for example, dating to the late 13th Century, is one of but a paltry few Sheela-na-gig images to survive relatively unscathed into modern times.”
As the lecture continued, Kate found herself transfixed by the image on the screen. She felt her chest tighten, her eyes flinching with an overwhelming urge to look away, and yet she stared at it with horrid fascination.
“Hundreds of similar figures have been found filed down to “decency” on the walls of Medieval churches or shattered and discarded like so much rubbish. Even today they are considered distasteful and ugly. Many of the Sheela’s still in existence are collecting dust in the basements of national museums.”
Sebastian’s voice journeyed backwards on the soft hum of the projector, sliding over the long conference table and into Kate’s ears. Kate sat rigid as the dark room closed in around her, a tunnel narrowing to a small aperture in which the carving loomed, horrible and compelling. She saw the carving’s hands clench and stretch the stone labia wide until the dark opening filled her field of vision
