Eye-catching: Jamie McCartney created the wall using casts of the vaginas of hundreds of women

A British artist has unveiled a 'Great Wall of Vagina' using 400 plaster casts of women's nether regions.

Jamie McCartney unveiled the 26-foot long sculpture in Boulder, Colorado, as part of the Red Tent Revival women's festival in Boulder, Colorado.

The Brighton-based sculptor composed the casts with hundreds of women this month to create the bizarre, eye-catching piece.

It is not the first time McCartney has composed a 'Wall of Vagina' - a previous creating has been previously toured everywhere from Glastonbury to Milan and is currently sitting in his Sussex studio.

Campaign: McCartney says his work is a reaction to the rise of 'designer vaginas'

McCartney said the work was a celebration of the female form and hitting back against a rise 'designer vagina' cosmetic surgery.

He told the Guardian: "There’s nowhere to go for information (on the vulva), so someone can easily be persuaded for surgery.

"If you look at medical texts of genitals, they’re not very broad, so The Great Wall of Vagina presents 400 women and what you see is that someone in there’s going to look a little bit like you

Celebration: McCartney says his 'Great Wall Of Vagina' should make women feel better about their bodies

"It’s effective in combating the messages that are coming from plastic surgeons, saying ‘You’re defective if you don’t have a child-like (vulva).

"Only about 5 per cent of the casts meet that ‘perfect’ ideal.

"I don’t think 95 per cent of women are defective.

"That's not possible."

Discussions are now underway as to whether the new 'Great Wall' will be publicly exhibited elsewhere.
