Gag Me!

Fair warning! if you are a queasy person you should skip today's post,it is not a particularly pretty picture. Seems odd to me that this is actually considered art but from what I have read recently about various forms of performance art I am apparently way behind what is the current rage. A 27 year old woman creates her art by drinking a selection of dyed soy milk then vomiting it onto a canvas. She says the key is to fast for two days prior to each performance to clean any food from her stomach. The day of the creation the colors must be swallowed and regurgitated at intervals as to not mix in her stomach. Her work began in 2005 and has gained success from a Lady Gaga video where she is featured vomiting on the pop singers dress. Ripley's Believe it of Not has also featured her work. Since I have long hair I am compelled to wonder why she doesn't tie her hair back when she is working?
Millie Brown is pushing the boundaries of the art world by using a selection of dyed soy milk in a mixture of colours which she then swallows before vomiting onto a white canvas
Despite having a general idea of what she'd like her work to look like, she prefers to improvise
Millie's work has been likened to Jackson Pollock
