Episode 3: Orgasm Artist

‘Cee Sparét’ may well be the only artist anywhere in the world, working in this way.’

‘Cee Sparét’ is a teacher, a mother, and a wife. She is also an artist. She prefers to be oblivious to the rhetoric and the politics behind being an artist. She is an artist that likes to create first, and then to consider what it all means afterwards.

After a particularly critical deconstruction, of her work by painting tutors at her local University, she went home to her husband very distressed. They ended up making love. She came. And then she came again. Cee wanted to make her mark. And in an explosion of clarity, combined inventively with some food colouring, she saw it.
Cee discovered a unique way to express herself artistically. She now creates her art by ‘coming’ and performing a female ejaculation onto special paper. This paper is then treated with various photographic processing chemicals. Each ejaculation creates different colours and patterns, when put through this process. Cee has sketched a new and original self portrait of her pussy every single day since the first of January 2003. This too, has been incorporated into her work. She now has journals of more than 1550 individual sketches.

It was while exhibiting her orgasm work and sketches in it’s 2D format, that she also designed from the images, textiles creating an outfit that would compliment her work while she was showing it. The textiles inspired her funky clothing designs, and people became more interested in the clothes. It was only a short step then, until her clothing label was born of this creative coming. The label is called, ‘Orgasm’. It says, ‘I dare you.’

She is as yet, largely undiscovered. A lot of people she comes across, don’t ‘get’ her work, and even ask her, to keep her erotic fashions out of their textile shows.
She responds succinctly by saying, “Well, they’re obviously not my market.”
The people who love her clothes, are from a wide cross section, but her sons, who have created their own rock band, love wearing the clothes on stage.

She describes her clothes as ‘full of energy’ and as ‘live sculptures.’ It was important to her, to be able to express herself, and her art is in fact a celebration of herself as an individual. Her work celebrates individuals.
Cee’s work begs the question, how can we censor art, if it means we are censoring ourselves?
