Eking out

1. Does "in eking out a space of sensual feminine pleasure" mean "because of representing them in a way that is not sexy and does not feed men's voyeurism"?

2. Do you have any idea what "frame the horizontality of meat’s morphology as a vertical mass" mean? It is clear that horizontality means being phallic and verticality means being feminine. Does it mean that this series of artworks represent the meat slices which are naturally flat in bumpy and phallic positions?

Works such as Chadwick’s bronze penises or the installation of plaster casts of male and female urination patterns in the snow, Flowers, 1991–92, have met with great critical acclaim in eking out a space of sensual feminine pleasure. In relation to the latter work, Chadwick points out that the female casts are phallic while the urination
patterns of the male are more horizontally distributed in a playful reversal of how these terms circulate in patriarchy. Other works such as the photographic series Meat Abstracts, 1989, frame the horizontality of meat’s morphology as a vertical mass into which light bulbs are inserted in a witty critique of the usual terms of transcendent philosophies, in which the flesh is banished to the earth and the upward trajectory of light is desired.
