A Portland artist used her own menstrual blood to paint a Donald Trump
portrait. She did so after hearing Trump's derogatory remarks about Fox
News anchor Megyn Kelly. The artist's unusual painting is making
national headlines. It's not just because of who it portrays. It's also
because of the medium.
Artist Sarah Levy titled the portrait "Whatever." It depicts Trump
mid-sentence with one eye completely blotted out by red and his infamous
hair windswept with streaks of dark blood.
"I heard the comments he made to Megyn Kelly and I was outraged that he
was basically using women's periods not just to avoid a political
question but also to insult her and all women's intelligence," she said.
Following the Republican presidential debate on Fox News, Trump said of
moderator Kelly: "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes.
Blood coming out of her wherever."
Levy said painting with her period blood, which she collected with her
Diva Cup, was actually very easy.
"I could basically use it like watercolors with a paintbrush," she said.
"I definitely recommend painting with your menstrual blood."
She plans to auction "Whatever" off online and donate the proceeds to immigrants in the U.S.
