| House Pet - Devotion Life-scale, 24" x 40" x 24" 2000 Stoneware fired to cone 6 with stains Linda Ganstrom My father used to jokingly refer to beautiful women as "house pets". The idea that women would be pampered, caged and catered to because of their physical beauty appalled and intrigued me. The women I knew worked as hard as the men in contributing to the farm and our lives. Women, in general have worked hard to earn the right to be so much more than "Pets". Yet many women seem to consider trading the security of pampering for their freedom. Devotion requires a definite sacrifice of self-interest and personal ambition. These chicks wear their sexy, thin-ware costumes like Playboy bunnies or nymphs. Remember, Beauty is one of nature's first gifts, and one of the first she takes away. |
