Abstract

Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan's performance piece "Mary Medusa" is explored as an example of how artistic lesbian mess(ages) can be decoded by viewers. Focusing upon anthropological, feminist, and queer theory, I examine how both "Mary Medusa" and its decodings implicate women, sex, power, and food.
