Needs a total re-write

This reads like a book blurb or personal website bio, not an encyclopedic piece.--109.196.118.133 (talk) 22:40, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Great Wall of Vagina

The Great Wall of Vagina is a series of mounted plaster casts of adult human vulvas, some showing the vulval vestibule (or vulvar vestibule) aka vestibule of the vagina aka vestibulum vaginæ – all medically equivalent and medically correct terms for the opening in the vulva that leads into the vagina. Despite its name, the Great Wall of Vagina is not a series of mounted plaster casts of adult human vaginas. Note that it is problematic to think that one could make a plaster cast of an organic sheath with living, moist membranous tissues such as the vagina of a live female mammal. MedicineNet.com explains it quite well, using vestibule of the vagina rather than vulval vestibule:

Vestibule, vaginal: The vaginal opening is called the vestibule of the vagina. In medicine, a vestibule is a space or cavity at the entrance to a canal, channel, tube, vessel. In ancient Rome, the "vestibulum" was an entrance or enclosed porch leading into the house. The vagina is a muscular canal extending from the cervix to the outside of the body. The word "vagina" is a Latin word meaning "a sheath or scabbard", a scabbard into which one might slide and sheath a sword. The "sword" in the case of the anatomic vagina was the penis. Love and war, it would seem, have been connected in the minds of people for millennia.' [1]

In my view, given that so many men, women and children in the English speaking world, and so many in the popular media, regularly confuse the vulva with the vagina, the latter being usually completely hidden from view except for the vestibule, its opening, it's important that this article about Jamie McCartney makes it clear that his Great Wall of Vagina plaster moulds are not, notwithstanding the title of the work, sculptures of vaginas.
