Pie 76
6″ Cherry Pie
Hand sculpted vulva art, hand painted with edible paints
Pie 76
This art was made in collaboration with Alyssa. She gave me permission to use her image for this image and Pie 73, which is a different point of view, and these shared words:
“I always felt so uncomfortable about my vulva. Growing up in a conservative, christian household, my sexuality and nudity was taught to me as something to be ashamed of- something to hide, something dirty. As I grew older and realized that I was not straight, I also began to question my gender. What followed was years of fierce gender dysphoria, and the furthering hatred of my own body. I completely abandoned any traits of my femininity and often thought about how I could change my vulva into ANYTHING else. Now, I realize my gender dysmorphia was really rooted in sexist, conformist ideology that expected women to be small, humble, and pleasing to men. I am none of those things, nor do I want to be. I thought this meant I had to erase my femininity entirely but really- it meant I had to embrace it. Now, I dress how I want, which is feminine some days, masculine others. I shave when and where I want. But most of all- I love my body *exactly* as it comes. I am beautiful exactly as I come. I fit every description of what a female is- no matter how I choose to present myself or how well I conform. I still struggle with discomfort surrounding my vulva, but this project has really helped me see just how beautiful we all are!! I can’t wait to possibly be turned into art as well, ‘flaws’ and all.”
I’m was very excited to be able to have enough images submitted to share the reclining and frontal views from each model for a whole series! After I post it all the images will line up together on my profile grid so you will be able to see them side by side. (UNLESS more of them are removed like Pie 74 was – then I’ll just have to do the best I can. 😩🤬😢
