I presume the "lady's pump" mentioned here:
"She once crafted a bronze sculpture of a penis nestled inside a lady’s pump"
...means an item of footwear and not a different kind of pump?
I did google/bing image search this, but the results almost made my eye's fall out :/
Yes, it's a "court shoe": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_shoe
The piece is called "Scarpa" if you want to search for it. :)
Previously aware of Rama through a show in Dublin. While it's anathema to the art world to make moral judgements, Rama is problematic.
"Yet Rama, whose mother was committed to a psychiatric clinic when the artist was a child, saw it as a place of great vibrancy and liberty"
Who can endorse that perspective, or want to spend time around it?
