Hillary Clinton bust on display at Museum of Sex
A “Presidential Bust” of U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton was unveiled on Wednesday at New York’s Museum of Sex, where sculptor Daniel Edwards hopes it will spark discussion about sex, politics and celebrity.
Edwards, the artist who also created a life-size nude of Britney Spears giving birth on a bear-skin rug, said he wanted to capture Clinton’s age and femininity in the sculpture.
Clinton’s office had no immediate comment.
Edwards said his work features soft “presidential smile” and wrinkles framing her eyes. A floral pattern runs across her breasts, part of Edwards’ effort to present Clinton “as a woman — not a covered up person, but as a woman.”
“I didn’t want to give her a face lift or change her age,” he said of his work.
“The key was to reveal her chest a little bit. She usually covers herself up, but I don’t think that’s necessary.”
This gets filed under “um, yeah…” The quote
Artist Daniel Edwards talks about his sculpture “The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: the First Woman President of the United States of America” at the Museum of Sex in New York August 9, 2006. Edwards claims to have been inspired to make the piece after actress Sharon Stone said Clinton could never be president because she is a sexual being.
Said more then the article itself… but still doesn’t fully express in my mind, why. I guess I just don’t see her as a sexual person. And that’s probably why I’d vote for her, since Sharon Stone said she won’t be president because of her sexual energy… I’m sorry. I’d sorta understand why Bill cheated. She is a freaking controlong person. Mind that’s perfect for president in a way. A controlling person (within reason) will try and keep up on jobs and make sure they get done. Maybe controlling isn’t the right word, but it feels right in this context.
