Family Planning

“Family Planning” appropriates consumer packaging from birth control pills into packaging for bindis, commenting on reproduction and adornment.  Both bindis and estrogen suggest the interdependent relationship of the import-export industry, and women's bodies, and question who controls and defines what is appropriately feminine. The installation evoke the way contraception is imported for and tested on Third World women, and how bindis, as markers of feminine beauty in South Asian culture, are exported.
