Out, Out...

Nicholas Terzoff describes a collaboration with Kiki Smith in Bodyscape: Art, Modernity and the Ideal Figure.  Blurry B&W Picture at link.
"In an earlier collaboration with the late David Wojnarowicz, Smith created a group of four photographer's light boxes overlaid with photographs of sections of the two artists' bodies, covered in blood.  The boxes are connected to each other with cables, and collectively to a plaster model of a human body in fetal position.  The cables suggest the umbilical cord, linking child to mother, and the internal lymphatic and circulatory systems.  The sculpted body and its means of vital support intersect across the light boxes, in the form of photographs.  It is the hands which make the strongest impression in these pictures, but it is unclear in what activity they are engaged.  On one level, hands suggest communication, touching and healing, but they are covered in blood, evoking surgery or even torture"

A Kiki Smith exhibition at the University of North Carolina sparked this description:
"How I Know I’m Here (1985 – 2000, linoleum blocks printed in four sheets Thai paper) showcases Kiki Smith's own body, both inside and out, over sixteen feet. The piece consisted of many photographs taken by fellow artist and friend David Wojnarowicz of Smith biting her toenails, eating a watermelon, picking nits out of a child’s hair or picking her nose along with various key internal organs to portray the senses."

This pdf with Michael Kimmelman at Harlan and Weaver describes Kiki Smith circa 2006, organ and ether.
