#1 Gaea means Mother Earth. It also means God is Gracious, and is one of the 52 feminine aspects of God in the Christian Bible. Gaea in mythology was a female Titan. If we could embrace the strength of womaness, celebrate it, we would become the people we are meant to be: nurturing, loving, whole.

sounds like a loon to me, A Female God?

#7 So it is now controversial to remove from a public garden a garish painting of naked women that includes labia and a depiction of menstrual blood.

It looks to me like the city rant the same decorate the sculpture deal that all cities seem to be running. I guess when they chose beavers as the sculpture they received the obvious submission.

I doubt she is reading the Narnia series to the kids in school and kindergarten.

#8 That picture is kinda weird, 'moose, but I can't see why it would be "not safe for work" (unless you're afraid of your IQ dropping).

Looks like a beaver to me. Or maybe a squirrel.

Piece should be entitled: Josie Grossie.
Comprehending is easy. Its a Chunky, garish, and tacky impression of a vagina.

Liking it is not at all easy. The artiste needs a taster elevation of some kind, and I need a mood elevator after looking at that unattractive thing.

#11 I thought the side and back views were interesting. The front view was very vulgar.

There are several female images / references to G*d in the old testament, mostly in the oldest passages. In Hosea 11:1-4 the phrase "When Israel was a child I loved him and I carried him out of Egypt ... I carried him in my arms, I bent down and fed him" is based on the verb stem used to refer to breastfeeding. (IIRC - from memory as my references are not here with me right now.)

#13 I am anti-p*rn*graphy."

Sure you are. I'd recommend duct taping the "artist" to the front and applying tar and feathers.

Not so much for the banal p*rn but for taking the town for fools.
