Reply to ‘offensive art’ article, Wakefield Express.
Art should not have to deny a right to offend. Isn’t it through having our everyday experiences challenged that we gain a new understanding of things?
This work in that case is timely given the retreat from reason and a reverence for nature over humanity.
Nature of course being inherently 'cruel' and if designed by god then he is not that much to look up to.
Not that I would want religious art to be banned any more than the dead dogs as both can explain more about the human condition.
Anyway, at least it’s organic.
This is another example of local councillors posing as moral guardians as the issue appeared in the local press with our then Lady Mayor, Janet Holmes (lab). One assumes that in her mayoral position the good lady had fur on her collar?
