The piece features a large head of a Black woman with cornrows atop what appears to be a skirt that also resembles a house and is meant to merge human form with architectural elements.
1. The artist denies it, but this is a self portrait.
2. The Inquisitor's description doesn't describe the piece
at all.
A. That's not how cornrows as a style usually work. Not even when Bo Derek appropriated them in 10. But the seashells are nice.
B. Imagine a house but miss both the afro and the missing eyes in front of you.
C. A Brickhouse is a stacked woman, also referred to as a Stallion. The statue's body has been removed. So there's a meta meaning in there.
D. Women get offended when the male gaze cannot be controlled. The saying 'I'm up here'.....meaning look into her eyes (soul)...
E. ... but not only has the piece no body,
it has no eyes. No ass, no eyes, where is the viewer's gaze supposed to go?
Seashells with a face rising from ... what?
a. Looks like macaroni artwork.
b. 'macaroni in a pot' is zoomer for noisy sex
c. 'maquereau-ny' is colonial American slang for being as stylish as a pimp
d. onaholes have ridges inside to approximate the inside of a vagina, so.....
the piece is a reworking of Botticelli's Venus. It's a black woman's head rising from a womb, not architecture, not a house.... which also makes it a reworking of Tlazolteotl, the Goddess who gives Birth to Herself.
I still don't understand the missing eyes. She called it Brickhouse, not Prophetess.
Why did the Furhmans find it beautiful?
