Stolen Words

Here darkroom techniques have been used to burn words into a series of self-portraits

The words were fragments of song lyrics and poetry, and come together to form a story of love-gone-wrong.


The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm

This intimate book contains the words of Anne Koedt, a radical feminist and founding member of NY Radical Women.

The idea of rediscovering the clitoris is expressed through the format of the book, as illustrations of clitorides can be found between the fold of the pages.


Pillow Book

The book can be read before being used as a pillow. One line of Shakespeare’s sonnet 43 is written on each page.

The pages are gradated to reflect dusk. As the pages are turned the words become more visible, and shine out of the night to reflect the meaning of the sonnet.


Polina Press
