Unruly female emotion was once attributed to a deviant womb wandering through the body. Our flesh is cast as monstrous in its capacity to feel.

‘Testimonial’ and ‘attest’ both derive directly from ‘testes’ - the gateway to truth is gendered - horror is a woman who knows.

Under the halo of the soft-core virgin body, we are haunted by the absence of the visceral. Object becomes subject through her desire, if only for a moment.
