3. Do women really give birth in this position?
call me ni eve but it just seemed odd. Striking sculpture IMO. The one of Hillary does not capture her facial features IMO. It portrays strength and character it just don't look very much like Hillary to me.

13. Some women give birth on hands and knees.
The position in that sculpture however, is more what one would be rushed into an OR for an emergency C-section due to a cord prolapse for.

Britney actually did have a C-section. I doubt that would make for much of a sculpture though.

9. I don't like this artist's work
His MO: take a well-known woman, portray her in a sexually provocative manner, then surround the work with mealy-mouthed bullshit, e.g., honoring Britney's decision to stop her career and have children when she is still so young and super-famous (as if other young celebs haven't done the same, and as if Britney has sequestered herself to raise a family).

Here he claims to emphasize Hillary's breasts to express how many people fear her female sexuality. Well then, he should have portrayed her vagina, because that's what most freeps are afraid of.

I think this artist is creepy.

12. I agree with you.
It seems , and I have only seen these two pieces, but to take a super figure and put sexual tones in the theme or description of the artwork guarantees a larger selling price.

2. Face looks like a young Joe Lieberman. With the addition of the...
..."bust" the image is excessively disturbing.

8. It doesn't look like her to me either
It is an odd angle, looking up at her.



""Edwards’ inspiration for the piece was derived from actress Sharon Stone’s controversial quote earlier in the year about challenges that would most likely be encountered should the Junior Senator from New York run on the ’08 ticket. “I think Hillary Clinton is fantastic,” Stone said. “But I think it is too soon for her to run. This may sound odd but a woman should be past her sexuality when she runs. Hillary still has sexual power and I don’t think people will accept that. It’s too threatening.""
