gum, saliva
1 1/2" x 1 1/4" mount
9.5" x 9.5" frame
Gum Sculpture by Hannah Wilke. Mounted by the artist and signed and dated in pencil to lower right [wilke 78].
Hannah Wilke, among her vast contributions to conceptual art in the context of Feminism, began work on S.O.S. (Starification Object Series) in 1974 wherein she photographed herself nude, adorned with vulval gum sculptures. The present work is a continuation of the S.O.S. ideas, connoting glamor and scarification. The inherent saliva in a piece of chewed gum is noted as a primary material to the work by the artist.
