-was used- 

by Tetiana Odegova

She always focussed on girls and women, pain and injury, and the right to protect virginity. Sometimes she used panty liners as her canvas – for her, they carried meaning as, worn close to the body, they can provide evidence of sex crimes. Her work also signalled the burgeoning strength and defensiveness of women in a chauvinistic environment. Of herself, she says, "In reality I am not very brave. But I have power when I paint." And she loves "the ability to speak and hide at the same time". from Raw vision mag by Florian Reese
