Description
On a calendar displaying the month of November 1994, the artist has drawn the symbol of an "O" circumscribing an "X" on the 23rd-28th calendar dates. She then placed a micro figurines of babies next to the symbols, with additional figurines placed on the 15th, 22nd and 30th. On a separate calendar sheet displaying the same month, baby figurines cover dates from the 11th to the 29th. The imagery of infants and physical calendar dates recall obvious allusions to menstruation, pregnancy, and fertility.
