if that was true then how would you explain the incredible attention gathered by the african portrait of Mary of Bethlahem made out of elephant dung? [/QUOTE]Do you know, I can't? If a person had made a statue of the virgin Mary out of elephant dung for no reason or simply because he or she was bored, that person would be a serious candidate for psychiatric help, because those are the actions of a madman. But because it is 'art', everybody seems to ignore the sheer insanity of it and defend it. I have no *idea* how people get away with this. I've always felt it was akin to pleading insanity in court. [/QUOTE]What is so insane with it? Over here, some people sculpt ice and even snow. What's so different about excrement? Sure, it's gross, but it's not very different than using mud...
