He's convinced 100s of women to spread their legs in the name of art, won an erotic award and flummoxed airport customs officers around the world. But Jamie McCartney is surely most of proud of the fact that he is the first man to ever appear on www.FanniesRule.com
Tell us about The Great Wall of Vagina
I cast, over the course of 5 years, the vaginas (well the vulva area in fact) of hundreds of volunteers. The Great Wall of Vagina is an exploration of women's relationships with their genitals. When I assembled the first panel of 40 casts in summer 2008, I stepped back disappointed. I realised the sculpture would need to be much bigger to have the impact I wanted. From this original piece (called Design A Vagina) has grown an epic sculpture. The final piece now has 400 casts arranged in 10 panels of 40.
Why are in you so interested in vaginas?
A lot of my work is based on the human body and I mostly work with women's bodies. I just prefer them. The Great Wall of Vagina came about in response to the anxiety, I discovered, that many women feel about their genitals. I'd say I'm more interested in women per se than vaginas specifically. Having said that, professional work aside, outside of the studio I maintain a healthy recreational interest. No shame in that. The human race would die out pretty fast if nobody was interested in vaginas!
Can you tell us about the different fannies you've seen?
Well that's not an easy question to answer. They are all different yet all variations on a theme. No real surprises then in the five years since I started the project. I suppose that transgenderred men and women's are fairly different and I've seen some pretty exuberant "piericings. In truth though I think that out of the whole wall of 400 of them, it is the identical twins" and the "before and after labialplasty" casts that people ask to be shown most often. Humans are, as a species, very inquisitive and I think sexual curiosity is the norm.
What's the most common style pubes amongst your casters?
When I started the project in 2006 I'm pretty sure a Brazilian was the most common. These days I see more Hollywoods. Perhaps this trend leaves more space for the vajazzles which I've started to see.
And the most unusual?
Bright red dyed pubes to match the head hair. Amazing!
Do you have any preferences?
Personally I prefer some hair but like most men I think we're pretty grateful for whatever turns up. I haven't seen the full bush since forever. I miss it. Bring back the bush!

How are your pubes?
They're fine, thank you! The details of my short and curlys are quite inconsequential!
Do you have anything else to add?
Well I'm working on some new vagina panels and some new experimental photographic work at the moment so I need as many volunteers to model as I can get. Just email for more info. One of the vagina panels is going to include a cast of a woman from every country in the world. If you are from overseas and are living here or are visiting this country and want to
represent your country then do please get in touch. I'd like to have it finished in time for the Olympics...
Also The Great Wall of Vagina book which features life size images of all the vaginas and the stories of 100 of the women who took part is available through the website and on Amazon if you'd like to see what all the fuss is about.
What should women do if they want to be a part of your projects?
Anyone who would like to volunteer for one of my projects or wants toorder a cast for themselves can get in touch via the website: www.greatwallofvagina.co.uk
