Sasquatch Sculpture

While Sasquatch (a.k.a. Bigfoot, a.k.a. Ol' Hairy Back) has often been depicted as a vicious, brooding, decidedly male figure in modern myth, Canadian artist Allyson Mitchell is trying to turn that archetype inside out. Her sculpture exhibit at Hamilton, Ontario's McMaster Museum of Art depicts several giant, hairy Sasquatch figures that also happen to be anatomically correct women. Surrounding those figures are smaller, pink sculptures representing more traditional ideas of femininity. But if she's not careful, I'm thinking Mitchell's exhibit may just open a new avenue of highly specialized sexual fetishes. "The creatures are meant to be this sort of imaginary, utopian, dystopic community of lesbian, feminist, half-beast, half-women monsters," she said. Is is misogynist of me to be a little turned on right now? More details here.
