The Great Wall of Vulva is made from plaster casts of 400 women's genitals. Spectacle and education combined. Knowledge is power. Freedom from genital shame and anxiety is the purpose.
Take the Virtual Visit
In 2006, British artist Jamie McCartney embarked on a project to create a monumental wall sculpture to end the confusion, at a scale that could not be ignored.
For 400 women their private parts have gone public.
Deliberate and casual misinformation is leading to increasing genital anxiety and an exponential rise in unnecessary, cosmetic genital surgeries. The sculpture, and by extension this website and the book, are Jamie’s one-man campaign to change that by simply demonstrating normal, vulva diversity. Knowledge is power. In 2011 it was finished and the rest, as they say, is art history…
Jamie’s exhibition is controversial - there is no doubt about that. As a piece of art, it fulfils all the most basic criteria - a multi-layered experience it informs, it questions and it provokes a reaction, both emotional and academic. Like Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst… the world will be talking about Jamie McCartney for a long time to come.
