Cut Piece, Yoko Ono, 1964
"The audience took turns walking up to her on stage and joining her performance, cutting off pieces of her clothing with scissors. Her expression was kept poised and silenced while her body remained motionless. For the final stage of the performance, her body was fully exposed. The audience walked down the steps clutching the remnants of her clothes and they were allowed to keep these pieces with them." Wikipedia
"Ono reaffirms that the sensations of discomfort and intimacy are mutual, shared by both artist and participant.
By means of live audience interaction, the participatory nature of Cut Piece...reveal[s] the degree to which Ono engages in this passive objectification of both the female body and her physical self, highlighting the loss of agency that accompanies touch and female nudity in the public eye."

Lovely Sonia
Years ago this painting was made because my friends dare me to make a painting of a cartoon character of my choice and I chose Sonia from Hero 108, and to make sure I won the dare I made two versions just like the TV show and I had it along with my old drawings from childhood so far I'm planning to recover more and if I find any more I'll be sure to put it in my gallery and if you have any questions about childhood drawings let me know.
