Jordan Post 8

This is a piece by artist Chris Jordan entitled "Barbie Boob Job" 32,000 barbies arranged to depict an image of boobs.  32,000 is the number of breast surgeries performed monthly in the US. I am traumatized by boob jobs, let alone the thought of getting boobs.. or more boobs for that matter. This is a horrifying piece to me. Many older women I know endured a boob job and I always wondered what the mentality was behind it, why they would want these balls of fat that always get in the way and need concealing. The content to me is puzzling.

I don't know the photographer. Childhood dolls and media images probably put the above into effect to a certain extent or the opposing effect.

Here is my drawing for the week, it was inspired by Eduard Gorey. Its a cake done with marker on a thin white sheet of fabric.
