Icky Sticky Wonder
Look at this body - Olive Bilic
Icky Sticky Wonder provides musings and perspectives on feminine corporeality in all its porousness, sensuality and fluidity. Examining the space between beautiful and grotesque, we ask - what goes in, comes out of, and is felt by our bodies?

In Icky Sticky Wonder, Yumemi evokes a bathing room, a slow, private space for self care, self judgement and curious exploration. Seeing bathing as a ritualistic time to cleanse, reflect and converse with yourself, Yumemi invites you into her internal world as she explores her relationship to her body and sensuality.
