Obviously with the making of penis comes the obvious jokes, homosexual quips etc. It seems that in modern society this is the done thing, to make penises mean you are obsessed with or must be gay and you’re futile efforts to encourage people otherwise only confirm your homosexuality. Oh well small minds. I would be lying to say I have not been guilty of similar offences, but this being an art environment you expect a bit more…
It’s led me to question my making of these and the REAL reason but all I come back to is the original symbolism of man. I think their life-likeness will only add to the reaction when they are crushed.
The picture shows a small stack of my finished penises from a shoot for the degree show catalogue.
