Pelosi was once dubbed “Mussolini in a skirt,” while she has compared the Donald to Il Duce, clocking their shared need to be at the center of all conversations.Īnd the most powerful woman and most powerful man in the country are both devilishly good at trolling - usually one another. Their last names are - depending on the shade of the state - curse words. Neither one drinks, yet they have family vineyards. Lets just say that there are cupcakes falling down from a guy into another guy's mouth.SAN FRANCISCO - Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump have a lot in common. Especially now after winning first place recently in the 20th San Angelo Ceramic Competition for a piece that shows a very deviant act that was inspired by an ad in the Craig's List personals. Never, because you cannot have the normative without the deviant side when dealing with sexuality. Is there any sexual act too deviant for you to depict in your work?Ī. I have cast many dildos in porcelain but never used one personally. Have you ever made a ceramic dildo? Used it?Ī. I found her collection to be so cool as a child and have loved all things tawdry since. Growing up I just loved going to her house and getting lost in all her cabinets and shelving that were overflowing with crazy hair troll dolls, cat teapots, and lots of velvet Elvis items. My grandmother had a huge collection of kitsch objects and figurines in her home. You've called your work tacky and tawdry, kitschy. So now anytime he learns about a deviant sexual act, he will call me and ask questions. I had to explain to him that I was not doing the imagery on all of my plates. He just kept staring at the plate and finally after a few minutes, my father was asking me about fisting and how exactly it worked. As he was finishing the meal, he looked completely pale and I thought something was wrong. I totally did not even think about what plates I was using for him and I thought I was going to have to take him to the emergency room! He is from Indiana, so I made the normal staple of the Midwest which consists of steak and potatoes. Oh yes, probably the best was when my father was in town and I made him dinner.
I am not quite sure if society is ready to look under the covers of the deviants. Within my artwork, I like to examine the normal but also the deviant. Yeah, society is becoming more accepting of the gay lifestyle, but only in the normative sense. Is that gradual move affecting your work?Ī. Society seems to be growing more accepting of gay lifestyle.
I played it safe at the time and said that the work was about relationships. I look at the body of artwork now and laugh, because I was making abstract penises. It is something that has been there from the beginning, when I had no idea what I was making as an undergraduate.
Sexuality is very important in my artwork. How important is your sexuality in your work?Ī. Harvey recently spoke with the Express-News.
