Unnecessarily concerned with her own eloquence during our conversations, Gibson made us keenly aware of her meaning in a follow-up email: "I have had a long-term relationship with eating disorders, handled now but in the past. The ugliest thing we learn in humanity is senseless slaughter or the act of murder, the most beautiful thing we know is the naked thin/starved feminine body. Fatten to kill and starve to fuck. Slaughter to consume but then expect women to starve to be consumed."

Wonderfully put — but said most effectively with her haunting images.

Thank you to the brave writer of this story and the brave artist.

Boring.  Some artists try really hard to think of something really cool.  Keep trying..  Been there done that...
