@EvilCartyen all this time I thought it was your real name and I have maintained a straight face!!!!
@Tarnport I wonder if you can actually change your user name here, probably not. Maybe if I "migrate" to a new server (the same server) and keep my follows and followers but can change the name.

@Tarnport I mean, it's really not, though :D It's not like I named myself 'SuperBunny1983' or something.

@Tarnport something that strikes me looking at this - the only woman present in the painting is Mary. But in post-partum, the people who usually show up to help are women, not men.
In my post-partum period, the only man who I recall helping is my co-parent. Everyone else who showed up with gifts and help - bringing a casserole, holding the baby so I could take a shower or have a nap - were women.
I know these nativity scenes are super male-gazy, but would love to see one painted by a woman.Not a nativity - though hers are closely cropped. A confident feminist statement though from a successful artist.
[scroll down a little for the Allegory]

@Pepijn @Tarnport @juliette
Haha. I love it when a different perspective gives a wholly different reading of the story ๐For me this painting almost seems like a (super) early "Project X".
I know people usually don't want to have too many visitors in the first days, but once a certain critical mass has been reached, it's gonna be hard to stop. I guess the story of the virgin birth (always seemed suspiciously much like a cover story to me) spread, and people wanted to see this for themselves?

@pms this is a very wise realization! Love it or hate it, the reaction itself is evidence of its power.
For the record I think there's a lot going on right now in the very young art set coming to terms with the common overlooked vernacular fixtures of the last 30 years. I guess I'm trying to say I have this reaction every day, asking if this is really art, and I'm trying to look deeper because of it.
@Tarnport I felt more like Homer in the โdoh!โ sense than wise ๐. Itโs great that we can learn to appreciate being kicked right in the preconceptions again and again. I hope we never lose that!

@kirbius I have a guide to start woodcarving, but is in french :(
My english is too bad for now to make a complete guide, but maybe I can help a bit.
Do you have hazel in your area ? A carving knife and some sticks can be a start
