Comedian Kathy Griffin says a new “art” project featuring a beheaded model of President Trump will “make noise” upon its completion.

Entertainment website TMZ was granted exclusive access to a photo shoot organized by Ms. Griffin and photographer Tyler Shields. Gruesome video provided Tuesday by the comedian and former Bravo “My Life on the D-List” star shows her holding a representation of Mr. Trump’s head in ways reminiscent of terrorist propaganda.

“This is fake blood, just so you know,” she said in video provided to TMZ. “I won’t give away what we’re doing, but Tyler and I are not afraid to do images that make noise. He also lights me to the point where I look about 15. First I’m an artist, but really it’s good lighting.”

The writer, who annually appears with CNN’s Anderson Cooper for the network’s New Year’s Eve broadcasts, then joked that she will have to move to Mexico to avoid the consequences of her actions.

“We’re going to go to prison — federal prison. Call your dad, apologize,” Ms. Griffin added.

The president did not respond to the news, although Donald Trump Jr. did.

“Disgusting but not surprising,” he tweeted. “This is the left today. They consider this acceptable. Imagine a conservative did this to Obama as POTUS?”

No date was provided for the project’s release date.
