These visceral sculptures will make you feel uncomfortable

No organs were harvested in the making of these sculptures, and yet that information might not be enough to quell your cognitive dissonance about them.

They were created by London-based sculpture and video artist Jala Wahid, and at once ‘invite and disappoint for her emotive agenda’.

The concept behind them is kept intentionally ambiguous, and they convey often contradictory moods of sensuality and disgust, tactility and repulsion.

If they feel in some way carnal to you, you might be on the right lines, with the artist’s titles for her works including My serous lining, Every mouthful of you, Navel Gazing, Wearing Natalie Portman, Hard Blush and Let me touch you, make you feel really nice.

You can view a few choice picks in the gallery above, which were, in some cases, made by combining conventional sculptural materials like plaster, acrylic paint, and lacquer with edible ingredients like gelatine, golden syrup and grapefruit.

Wahid continues to pursue her interest in juxtapositions on 16 September at the Serpentine Gallery, where she will have a dancer moving to Kurdish love songs mixed with Lana Del Rey. The installation will explore love, longing and the censorship of the Kurdish language by introducing music to an audience which will largely not understand the love songs.
