The menstrual blood is egested from woman body month by month, and it’s also a symbolization of sexually mature women. With the menstruation, women can perceive the different between physical and psychological changes. This thesis of artistic creation which forced on menstruation discussed my artwork series between 2014 to 2016. I attempted to realize what I experienced in the menstruation, and connect the relationship with the artistic creation and discussion.
Directing to the discussion of menstrual creation, first I described of my own menstrual experiences and values in the text, then leaded the creative purposes and motives. And through the anthropological point of view, to understand the different social and cultural understanding of menstruation, and how to form menstrual taboos and the establishment of people's understanding of menstruation. In the context of art, this thesis not only described the filthy theory of menstrual-related artists and anthropologists, such as Margaret Douglas, which expounds the values and creativity of artists using taboo media and The work is compared with the artist's work. In this way I found my own artistic expression. In addition to analysis on the form of my art works, I chose the line of incense to burn cotton paper, and find out the ink painting painted-mode link. Discussing the incense in the use of menstrual works on the importance of works and ink with the origin of the image of the East. On the other hand, in my works, I painted calendar follows which symbolized the time of Chinese culture, and made the flower as a contrast between the time of creation and my own feelings. In the flower as the main image of the creation, to the late creation slowly from the external blood to the internal discussion of the body. At the end of the thesis to sum up the creation and research of menstruation and inspiration and problems, as well as my own future creation path.
