The shock value of photographer Sarah-Jane Lynagh’s work is off the scale! I can barely cope with cutting up liver to feed to my fussy cat let alone smothering my face with an animal organ.

Using unconventional materials such as offal and other dead animals parts as shocking photographic props, Lynagh attempts to explore themes of sexuality, death, loss, identity, abjection, and the monstrous feminine.

All I can say is thank goodness these images aren’t too bloody.

Her intent is to turn the body inside out and subvert the role of the meat making it an attachment to the outer body in order to evoke feelings that something is habitual yet out of place and threatening. (designboom)

@Cecilia: I asked M to remove the flags. I marked as dup by mistake then looked at heart pic and saw it was 2002 so I passed on posting this myself. My mistake.
