A friend forwarded me a shocking image that has been flying around the net. Female gender and motherhood seem to be portrayed with such revulsion in this photo, I assumed the artist was a male with some skewed “vagina dentata” obsession. I had to view the artist’s work in context to understand she is talking about the threat of science.
Ugly as it is, the innate peacefulness of this family is what is most disturbing. Although the artist is not preaching to us, our minds scream - THAT’S JUST NOT RIGHT! Biotechnology. Sheep. Pigs. Humans. Scary. How did this creature reproduce?
Here is the rest of Patricia Paninini’s series. If you are interested, check out the sculpture of the cute boys playing a video game… look closely and note their wrinkles and graying hair. Remember the cloned sheep with premature aging?
Cool, eh?
