Kanga Bell

     She is an artist out of Boston, Massachusetts.  Her work is an exploration of humans animalism , which society tell us to hide. She does this by shooting close ups of the human body and perceptions of the self, sexuality, nature, and gender. I choose this artist  because of her unique way of looking at humans. I feel that her work is a examination of the basics of what a person is.
     The one of her works that caught my eye was called 'Flesh'. This series is a collection of small details for the living human. The images are inkjet prints on glossy paper, 26 x 24. The other work is her in progress work called 'Micro'. This work is microscopic photos of body fluids, these include vaginal secretions, menstrual fluids, semen and saliva.

"We humans are in fact living organisms. We bleed and breathe, breed and grow. We are mammals, animals, our bodies built of skin, blood and bones. We are beautiful, repulsive, and erotic all at once." - Bell
