Myths and stories are told about the pill and its side effects. It is a signifier of promiscuity. It also dangles that elusive notion of choice. But the question comes down to whether it is an intelligently designed pill, which has barely seen an evolution in the last 50yrs? “aN iNteLLliGENT dESiGn?” is a touch in cheek piece on the 50 year of the Pill. The Pill delves into questions of sex, pleasure, fear and the changing role of women on a global scale. It operates symbolically, taking on traits and characterizations.
This piece comprises of a number of small format canvases linked together with a series of pipes. With the plumbing mimicking fallopian tubes and other bodily organs, the work is a satirical take on the effects of the pill on the female body. The plumbing sets in a sequential narration which narrates the before and the after-math of the pill being introduced.
