About this work

Description

"Within these pages, you'll find stunning photographs of 200 vulva casts, lovingly created by me between 2019-2021. Each one is unique, just like the people they belong to, each with an intimate story to share. The book also includes 100 stories from the participants of the project about their relationships with their vulvas. These stories divulge such varied experiences they have had, anecdotes of specific points in their lives, and thoughts and feelings towards their vulvas. These stories are heartwarming, joyous, upsetting, enraging, eye opening, educational and liberating. A celebration of vulva diversity, this book hopes to help us all feel less alone in our experiences, the journey we have been on with our bodies, and our thoughts and feelings towards our own vulvas. Whether it's questions around the size of our labia, pubic hair, sharing experiences of sexual trauma and abuse, disease, discharge, pornography, giving birth, or reclaiming sexuality, The Vulva Diversity Book and its authors are here to speak openly, freely, and without judgement."--From artist. https://www.lydiareeves.com/store/p/my-vulva-and-i-book
