getting emotional.

have you ever seen a truly evocative piece of art? that is, a two dimensional, three dimensional or unexplainable piece that throws you into confusion and appreciation. today, at the institute of contemporary art, i saw an unapologetically controversial piece of art. ron mueck sculpts the nude human form in compromising and vulnerable stances; pregnant, emaciated, etc. his brand of controversy is not found in the ride of a breast but the touches of detail--body wrinkles, veins, pubic hair, and perspiration--that confuse what we perceive to be unreal. the photo below is an example of his work.
