Benjamin Schulman







The work is meant to be reminiscent of lawn ornaments and the discriminating or erotic nature behind their history. I found the work interesting to look at, however after further investigating I found the reasoning behind their creation to be.. stupid or I just didn't get it. Fortunately I appreciate work for there design and aesthetic quality as equally as the reason for their existence.

I think Steve might enjoy the work because of the conflicting quality the characters carry.

"The work is not meant to reinforce 
societal stereotypes but to reveal some of the ways in which these stereotypes are 
unthinkingly propagated."
