This lady has taken her love of art to a whole new level by shoving a ball of wool up her vagina every day and knitting with it.
Casey Jenkins from Melbourne, Australia, wanted to do something unusual with her knitting to make women's private parts appear less "shocking or scary".
She calls herself a former "craftivist", reportedly describing it as "using traditional craft techniques for a political or social activism purpose."
Her latest work is called "Casting Off My Womb" and she is currently in the middle of the 28-day performance in Darwin, Australia, using a new ball of wool each day.
She pulls the thread straight out of her vagina and knits streams of yarn in front of an audience.
And as if that wasn't enough, she hasn't even let her period stop her, and carries on right the way through.
She says: "The performance wouldn't be the performance if I were going to cut out my menstrual cycle from it.
"For starters, when I'm menstruating it makes knitting a hell of a lot harder because the wool is wet so you have to kind of yank at it.
"It's sort of slightly uncomfortable sometimes, arousing sometimes."
The piece is all about her "being intimate" with her body - and she certainly manages that.
She says: "If you take a good hard look at a vulva, you realise it is just a bit of a body, there's nothing that is shocking or scary, or you know, nothing's going to run out and eat you up."
She adds: "It's unusual and it's confining because I'm attached to this knitting so I can't sort of get up and wander around, so it is really restrictive, but no no, it's not painful.
"I mean people push babies out of there so it's kind of, it's a pretty robust area."
