Nic Allen-Smith - Sculpture (Stuffed to Death)

Reclaimed kitchen cupboard, chain,
sanitary products

All the white wadding women stuff
between our legs from birth until
death.

Placed in a kitchen cupboard as
women have traditionally been
consigned to the kitchen.

The chain to protect the contents
from the outside world, but
conversely to stop the contents from escaping.

Also as a metaphor for a chastity belt and for the conflicting roles of women.
