Jamie McCartney is the only artist in the world offering an internal vaginal casting service. During the project’s early days, McCartney used his knowledge of sculpture and advice from a doctor who’d been making vaginal molds as part of her research into ethnic differences in genital structure. To refine the technique, he and his willing girlfriend embarked on a journey to create 3D casts which reveal the mysteries of a woman’s vagina. The process is kept a secret, but according to the artist, it involves the same material that dentists use to cast teeth—a goo which sets into rubber within a few minutes. I’m opting for a root canal in a dentist’s chair over this kind of canal cast!  The most complicated part is transforming the cast into a polished acrylic or glass bust, but "the highly aesthetic yet seriously curious results make it all worthwhile," Jamie says.
The Kinsey Institute for sex research in the USA has one of the pieces in its permanent collection.
