Performance artist Joanna Frueh repositions notions and standards of female beauty, addressing ideas about the erotic, beauty, older women, pleasure and the body. She uses the concept of monster (derived from the Latin monstrare, to show) to contend that beauty is artifice, pleasure/work, cultural invention, not natural fact.
