Apparently all my wide onion domes and upside down triangles are just too subtle for the art world. ;-)<br />

I think there are times when we over-think, over-debate, over-analyze what we think an artist's vision or intent is. Sometime people just make things because they want to make things. I don't think everything has to have some great philosophy or vision behind it. I don't know anything about the artist who made this piece, or why he made it... But why does there have to be a reason? Maybe he just felt like making a penis that day... Is it really that remarkable? Does it really have to mean…

But why does there have to be a reason? Maybe he just felt like making a penis that day... Is it really that remarkable? Does it really have to mean anything at all if someone wants to wear a penis around their neck? Shouldn't we focus more on the composition of the piece? Is it good design? Is it balanced? Does it have good craftsmanship? etc. I think these things matter more than subject matter. I already own a vagina.

DAMMIT! I wish I could find the slide of my 1st repousee piece I did in college back in the early 90s. It was a rendering of the labia in silver with a gemstone clitoris titled, Her Family Jewels. I'm thinking that Rudt is stuck in early 90s somehow with this work.

<p>Just to clarify, I am not commenting on the exhibition in the video. Of course, a male centric culture would see the phallus as a symbol of fertility. That doesn't bother me at all. It is from another time and place.</p>
<p>It bothers me to adopt a symbol from another time and place, and think that you can say the same thing now. That is my problem with the recent work. That is where the insensitive sexist pig ego marches to a pulse.</p>

<p>I can see what you are saying Harriete, but in my opinion I don't think that the intent of this exhibition is to manifest the male ego, (I guess it is left for the viewer to decide), but I see it as a huge investigation of the one type, of the many, fertility symbols.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And not all men think that they (as men) do all the work. To me a phallus is ONLY representing male fertility and that is it! And we both agree that It would be horrible to say that fertility is only visualized…</p>

And we both agree that It would be horrible to say that fertility is only visualized through a phallus. I know that it takes two to reproduce, and a man only does a minority of the work, like you said women go through 9 months of pregnancy, labor, and/or C-sections...etc.</p> I thought the video is very i…tag:crafthaus.ning.com,2010-12-21:2104389:Comment:1600672010-12-21T18:04:26.839ZHarriete E Bermanhttps://crafthaus.ning.com/profile/HarrieteEstelBerman
<p>I thought the video is very interesting, and appreciate learning about these other cultures, along with their sculpture and religious observations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But this work is offensive. In my opinion, Peters adopts a symbol from a male dominated culture, and time, brings it into the 21st century with male ego, and thinks he justifies it with historical context. No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p><strong>Leave it to men to think that fertility is visualized through a phallus!</strong> Try 9 months of pregnancy, 24- 48 hours of labor pain, and/or C-section plus nursing a baby for a year. But of course, these male dominated societies think they did all the work. It infuriates me!</p>

<p>I believe his work is interpreting the Hindu Buddhist lingam. Here is a video about his lingam work and the lingam exhibition he created:</p>
