The United Ostomy Association has estimated that 75,000 ostomy procedures are performed each year. This translates to an average of slightly over 200 each day. In March 2005 I began a year-long project to recognize the myriads of anonymous individuals with ostomies and the seemingly mindless acceptance of this practice on the part of scientific, pharmaceutical and medical communities. Every day I used a hand-carved rubber stamp to print 210 stomas acknowledging those who were undergoing various types of ostomy surgery that day. At the end of the year I had seventy-nine 18" wide by 72" long strips of paper - a total of more than 75,000 stomas with which to paper the walls of the Hidden Agenda installation. The "Stoma Wall" is a poignant reminder that even though not much is said about this barbaric practice, it is a fact of life for a significant number of us.
