Common scents? NY artist makes self-portraits from her own body odors
1 day agoIf you think Martynka Wawryzniak's art stinks, she'd probably agree with you. The New York artist's latest exhibition, "Smell Me," consists of vials of scents taken directly from Wawryzniak’s sweat, tears and other bodily odors. Visitors are even treated to a blast of perfume synthesized from the artist’s armpits. In order to gather the materials for her self-portrait, Wawryzniak cried into vials, wore heavy lab coats to force herself to sweat and even stripped the wax directly from her hair after not showering. She also "marinated" herself in a mixture of food-grade paraffin beads and mineral oil to make scented candles.Yummy.
