i'm allowed to humanize sculpture i'm allowed to sexualize sculpture i'm allowed to acknowledge that being created just to be viewed is inherently exhibitionistic and that one as a viewer forfeits their uninvolvement by stepping into the role of a voyeur when they look upon what is there to be looked upon

#i am not giving this up my brain is stuck on it #“go do your schoolwork” blah blah what about exploring the inherent eroticism that all statue holds when viewed?#what about that?#what about sensuality in art? what about the eroticism?#what about the voyeurism that ran rampant as a subject of controversy after the first italian printed pornogrophy panels came out #in the sixteenth century?#what about the fact that pornography wasn't as easy to get your hands on as it is today?#what about the fact that going to a church and jerking it to christ is something that absolutely happened numerous times #and undoubtedly was something sculptors knew of when sexualizing him?#what about that??#let me open your eyes #you're blinded. i must free you from your narrow view of the world #work and school and day-to-day life means nothing #the themes the metaphors the allegories the philosophies the art the eroticism #why isn't that what matters? why must i spend my time writing a paper that in the end will only serve as a way to express my thoughts?#why shouldn't i gather everyone up and speak to them #my lovely followers. we must see truth #what the fuck am i going on about #this project is messing with my mind (revealing truths oft-hidden in favor of the banal)
