Jafagirls at Women’s Voices Out Loud Exhibit

Ba Da Boom by Nancy Mellon

Nancy was inspired to paint this after reading  The Organ page on the The Project-After the Dinner Party website. The coordinated public action doesn’t start until May 3rd, but we thought we’d get cracking and put something out there for Women’s Voices Out Loud.

“the prick who came to dinner”

he was a guest

Dog-ma-tic

made him erratic

as his rants & lectures raged

Unleashed

not bound to his dunghill

the cock crowed

the audience woke up from their stained dinner

departed

&

once again

he was left alone

to wallow in his own shit

of

ignorant ideology

Tea stained muslin, black floss, satin stitch, couching stitch, custom frame
