This image was created by me when i was 17. Our art class in high school was given a project to create an artwork on masculinity and femininity in modern society.
Our art teacher was a bit of a feminist so i took a very chauvinist view on the whole project. I made out as though women essentially have fucked up the role of man. To do this I called many farmers until one agreed to let me cut the balls of one of his cows. well i got the balls so the project was set. I did a 6 piece triptych
2 panels one on the top left and one on top right being a womans hands clenching a set of severed testicles with a middle panel being a woman who looks like a dyke tearing up a copy of a book called "the image of man".
below it was a second series with the left and right panels being of a mans hands crushing a beer can and blood running down his arm. the label on the beer can was Victoria bitter being symbolic of female bitterness towards men and the central panel was of a feminine man trying to tear a copy of a book called "the Female eunuch"
My teacher didn't quite know what to make of the series. sadly the series is now lost all except this panel.
I should also comment I was suprised how much resistance there is when using a sharp knife to remove testicles i thought they would come off easy. they dont.
