The Dogon believe that women hold up the sky.
As graces, they also hold up Duke Ellington. (Robert Graham.)
In mapping, they are the heart of any geography. (Jena Scott)
They are the focal point in a field of flowers. (Jennifer Zwick)
They make the landscape more beautiful. (Susanna Bluhm)
Even in shadow, they dominate. (Pinaree Sanpitak, suggested by Gala Bent)
Once you’re looking for them, you see them everywhere. (Jennifer Campbell, suggested by Marianne Wu.)
Carrying that kind of cultural weight makes them ripe targets for the fetishist. (Woody Allen, from All You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex, 1972)
When I saw this post I thought about David Brody Professor of painting at UW. He has a knack for painting boobs. It’s interesting that he’s been a tenured professor for such a long time, but no one in Seattle outside the university knows his work.
I personally prefer Woody Allen.
thanks Regina!
Love it!
How about Pinaree Sanpitak:

(see 2004-2006, especially)
Great group of artists…
You’re welcome, Susanna. Great painting! You live in Seattle and I’ve never seen your work in Seattle. What’s up with that?
Theres a warmth to the female breast that goes beyond sexuality. I saw this post and was inspired to hug the nearby owner of a set of loving jugs. That moment of inspiration made us both smile and feel the goodness of the moment.
Ha! Yeah, what is up with that? Wanna help find me a gallery?
