dysregulated series
2023 - 2024
Dysregulated is a series of resin discs preserving the artist's menstrual blood, collected over 12 monthly cycles. The work is displayed in chronological order; each disc is marked with the dates the blood was collected.
The collection serves as a documentation of the quantity and quality of menstrual blood the artist shed over one year. The intention of this work was to further the artist's understanding of her own menstrual cycle and create a collection of visual data to represent what an "average" cycle may look like while using the Implant as birth control.
Throughout the process, Jordan found that she had normalised the act of collecting her menstrual blood to the point of ritual; it became automatic to reach for the collection container rather than empty the blood into the toilet. Using her hands to examine the quality of the blood became an subconscious practice.
Although Jordan admits she is still disturbed by the blood at times, ultimately she has accepted the blood as an ordinary bodily substance and hopes that, upon viewing this work, others will do the same.
