mandOrla breaks Open plays with the loaded almond shape and egg tempera, which both connect to traditional icon painting. Frameless, these forms might be seen as wounds, vulvas, or mouths. While one mandorla gushes the woolen knitted cloth out, the other stays dry and formal. The spelling of the title and the work as such is connected to Porsager’s winged exhibition STRIPPED and a series named ICUNTs, which Porsager has described as a tantric meditation or “an icunty iteration, a circulation of tongued spirits, energetic particles, and monstrous bodies.”
