A 216-page soft cover coffee table book specially commissioned to explain the story behind the making of the sculpture. Featuring life size images of all 400 casts, it is an excellent accompaniment to the artwork which also gives a flavour of the piece for those unable to visit the exhibitions. In The Introduction the artist explains how and why he created this epic sculpture with step-by-step photos of the process. From its conception to the final touches he discusses the inspiration and ideas behind it as well as putting it in the context of his other artworks. In the Models' Accounts over 100 of the women who posed for the casts explain in their own words why they did it and what it was like. Witty, poetic, erotic, harrowing, profound and emotional these are their stories. Their age range is from 18 to 76. Included are mothers and daughters, identical twins, transgendered men and women as well as a woman pre and post her first vaginal birth and another women pre and post labiaplasty. There are also casts of women which highlight some distressing conditions. In The Casts all 400 vagina casts are shown life size with the more unusual ones highlighted. Explanations written by the project's sexual health adviser accompany these. The artist hopes to educate and enlighten as well as address some of the stigmas and misconceptions that are commonplace. Although revealing, this is not erotic art. You can stare without shame but in wonder and appreciation of these women who bared all for the sake of art.

Much more than meets the eye! I was so proud to have been apart of this important piece of artwok, and reading the book has reaffirmed this pride and deepened my understanding of how crucially important the message behind The Great Wall of Vagina is to all women... and men.

I think everybody should read it. People say it has changed their lives. How many books can say that and mean it? Of course I am a little biased!

The British artist also wants a set of vagina casts from each of the 50 states.
In 2008, British artist Jamie McCartney cast over 400 women’s genitalia in plaster of Paris for his artwork The Great Wall of Vagina . Due to popular demand, he kept going.
His next project, Mondcivitano (which means “world citizen” is Esperanto) will aim to cast women’s genitalia from every single country in the world. He will later produce a United States-focused piece featuring one woman cast from every state.
“Scarcely a week goes by when someone doesn’t ask to get involved,” he told the Independent .
The 30-foot sculpture, which is broken into ten panels, has been exhibited at the Brighton Fringe Festival, London’s Hay Hill Gallery, and La Triennale di Milano. McCartney says he’d love to see it join the permanent collection at someplace like the Tate Modern.

“It was really important that nobody got paid to model for me, ” he said. “That might be really unfair but a man who pays 400 women to get their vagina out is not nearly as interesting as 400 women endorsing the project and believing in it enough to do it.”
The sculptor, who admits that he “didn’t go to art school to cast people’s private parts,” was originally inspired by the rise of cosmetic procedures that dictate how a woman should look—not just in terms of her face or her figure, but even in her most intimate areas. He refers to it as “body fascism.”
“The vagina became this whole new place to shame women around, because there’s money to be made in shaming people,” he says. “There’s a whole industry base set up to persuade women they’re defective.”
Before creating The Great Wall of Vagina , McCartney enacted a similar project using male genitalia. He was commissioned by the now-defunct Amora Academy of Sex and Relationships in London to cast 17 men’s penises—including his own. He describes it as a liberating exercise.
“Having only had pornography as a reference before, the result was like getting a weight off my shoulders,” he says.
Despite the fact that he’s already cast identical twins, transgender individuals, pre- and postnatal women and pre- and post-labiaplasty patients, for Mondcivitano , McCartney is looking for an even wider anatomical and aesthetic range than in his prior projects—one that truly represents the diversity of the world. For example, he would like to find a volunteer who has undergone female genital mutilation/cutting, but that has proven difficult thus far.
As the artist’s website proclaims, “It’s not vulgar, it’s vulva!”

Changing female body perception through art... Female genitalia have long been a source of fascination, recently of celebration but generally of confusion. Step in British artist Jamie McCartney who has created a monumental wall sculpture from plaster casts of 400 women's vulvas. Their privates have gone public and in this book over a quarter of them tell you why. Nine metres long and five years in the making, The Great Wall of Vagina isn t just sensation, it is art with a social conscience. For many women their genital appearance is a source of anxiety, which has led to a massive increase in cosmetic labial surgeries. This book is intended to educate people about what normal women really look like, down there, and ease that unnecessary anxiety. In The Introduction the artist explains how and why he created this epic sculpture with step-by-step photos of the process. From its conception to the final touches he discusses the inspiration and ideas behind it as well as putting it in the context of his other artworks. In the Models' Accounts over 100 of the women who posed for the casts explain in their own words why they did it and what it was like. Witty, poetic, erotic, harrowing, profound and emotional these are their stories. Their age range is from 18 to 76. Included are mothers and daughters, identical twins, transgendered men and women as well as a woman pre and post her first vaginal birth and another women pre and post labiaplasty. There are also casts of women which highlight some distressing conditions. In The Casts all 400 vagina casts are shown life size with the more unusual ones highlighted. Explanations written by the project's sexual health adviser accompany these. The artist hopes to educate and enlighten as well as address some of the stigmas and misconceptions that are commonplace. Although revealing, this is not erotic art. You can stare without shame but in wonder and appreciation of these women who bared all for the sake of art.
