Nadine Boughton is a photographer whose work has been exhibited all across America. In her series The Moddess Woman she aims to tackle the boundaries surrounding menstruation. In this series women are taken from clippings dress in fancy clothing, look elegant and then are placed in areas that may not seem so clean and symbols of women are placed around them. Boughton wrote "These images of women were as far away from the body and bleeding as possible, in a word, “sanitized.” This collage series is meant to reclaim women’s bodies especially in these politically charged times when women’s rights are challenged, and ownership of one’s body is up for “grabs”.
