I have explored packaging and how often one size fits all. Simone de Beauvoir suggests that each gender is born into a separate category that is socially constructed by a patriarchal, conservative society. I have linked this to women's health and awareness by highlighting that women are given set facts and figures which are considered to depict a ‘normal’ cycle. This suggests women are supposed to fit a category. If their period symptoms don't fit 'the norm' then they have something wrong with them. I believe that this is not the case: diversity of individuals is so large that these facts and figures given are representative of only a small percentage of women.
I have used misalignment of printing to symbolize the individuality of each woman and their experiences of menstruation. The prints all look the same from a distance yet when observed closely, they all appear different - a woman's sexual organ is part of their own personal identity.

We run specific campaigns to encourage employees to reduce food waste in canteens. At our headquarters in Switzerland we succeeded in reducing food waste by one third in six months by encouraging employees to take an appropriate portion of food from the self-service buffet and by allowing them to buy leftovers and take them home.

The incidents of heart disease are increasing in epidemic proportions. Why? The single most important factor is lack of physical exercise. Lack of physical exercise is glaringly present in majority of the people coming with coronary heart disease. Obesity is increasing, again in epidemic proportions in India.
As we are aware, life style modification is very important to control risk factors. If you modify your lifestyle by, maintaining an optimum body weight, regular physical exercise and stop smoking and do yoga/meditation or any of these things you can reduce heart disease by 40%.

Georgia O'Keefe is an artist I first became aware of when I visited America in 1982, she is not so well known in Europe. However in U.S.A. her art has taken on a great status and reproductions of her work are very common. Most of her paintings are small in scale, indeed the only O'Keefe on display at Chicago's Art Institute that I did not photograph was her huge panoramic view through clouds...this to me seemed less successful than the more intimate and smaller works. Her paintings are for the most part flatly painted with little in the way of impasto or surface texture, one could even say the paint application has something of a detached graphic like poster quality. Perhaps she is best known for her paintings in and around Taos New Mexico, she paints these landscapes very well and each image seems very well composed and full of taught power. Her paintings are indeed an American assertion that their art can be different and not reliant upon European Academic traditions. she seemed well aware of the art movements around her, and there are aspects of her work in Dove or Hartley and perhaps Marin. Her work shows the clear influence of photography upon painting in their tonality. Her best works have an almost hypnotic spiritual power, and her art was an enormous influence upon my first paintings of the American west. It was good to see so many together at Chicago's Art Institute. I do hope you enjoy this group, sadly I can add no more until I return to another american art gallery.
Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) Born near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, O'Keeffe was a major figure in American art from the 1920s.She received widespread recognition for her technical contributions, as well as for challenging the boundaries of modern American artistic style. She is chiefly known for paintings of flowers, rocks, shells, animal bones, and landscapes in which she synthesized abstraction and representation. Her paintings present crisply contoured forms that are replete with subtle tonal transitions of varying colors. She often transformed her subject matter into powerful abstract images. New York Times critic Jed Perl in 2004 described her paintings as both "bold and hermetic, immediately appealing and unnervingly impassive." (Wikipedia)
