The Great Wall of Vagina - Part 1 "The Making Of"

wide selection of labia for anyone concerned about what looks right or good or desirable.

I kind of think this whole idea is a bit childish...sort of at the level of pubertal boys or retards slobbering over porn mags.

a similar sculpture of penises would serve as a necklace hanger perhaps.

Jamie McCartney actually created this work to combat the sad tendency for women to feel theirs doesn't look "normal" or "right" and so get tempted to have unnecessary, expensive, and painful cosmetic labiaplasty.

So this project ended up involving 400 women (well, that's how he describes it, which isn't very friendly to the several trans men who are included) which includes trans women and men, pregnant and post-pregnant women, mothers and daughters, twins, people of a very diverse age range, pierced, unpierced, etc.

The purpose of this was exactly to show how different women's labia are (he gave it the title he did because it's catchy, not because he doesn't know the difference between a vagina and labia) and so help women feel that they're not somehow the only ones "not normal". I have the book (which means a lot to me, I'd like to appear on the wall one day post-op), and it's a very moving story how it all came about.

As it happens, he did also do a tongue-in-cheek penis version called 4x4 which does remind me of the cab controls of an earth excavator . I won't link to it here, as it's not ToS-friendly but if you're curious PM me for a link.

Anyway, I just wanted to say this absolutely isn't a piece of adolescent smuttery, it's had a very positive impact on a lot of women around the world since he began the project and it snowballed.

I agree. Just because he liked vaginas( a lot), doesn't mean he didn't do good.

Plus there is the "Dinner Party" by Judy Chicago, an exhibition of "Dinner" plates of Famous Females;

The principal component of The Dinner Party is a massive ceremonial banquet arranged in the shape of an open triangle—a symbol of equality—measuring forty-eight feet on each side with a total of thirty-nine place settings. The "guests of honor" commemorated on the table are designated by means of intricately embroidered runners, each executed in a historically specific manner. Upon these are placed, for each setting, a gold ceramic chalice and utensils, a napkin with an embroidered edge, and a fourteen-inch china-painted plate with a central motif based on butterfly and vulvar forms. Each place setting is rendered in a style appropriate to the individual woman being honored.
