	What's New: Tapestry Modeling/Sculpture Project: Glass Eggs Modeling/Sculpture Project: Bronze Goose Girl Lamb Girl Dance Girls Bird Girl Bunny Girl Ludwig Feuerbach (1804 - 1872): But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence ...illusion only is sacred, truth profane. Nay, sacredness is held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness. (The Essence of Christianity) Soren Kiergegaard (1813 - 1855): These words Either/Or are a double-edged dagger I carry with me and with which I can assassinate the whole of actuality. I just say: Either/Or. Either it is this or it is that; since nothing in life is either this or that, it does not, of course, exist. I have watched conjurers do their acts, heard them explain it, seen the crowd amazed, but all the same I have done far more singular things with my magic formula. One can explain everything away – indeed, one can help oneself superbly. (Either/Or, eds., Howard V. Hong and Edna H. Hong. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1987, 527.) More with Maya Hair... "A man cannot deviate from that to which nature inclines him." "A man may work from sun to sun, but a woman's work is never done." Maya Cube with Hair Eat 3D... She is delicious! I am working on chocolate sculptures. Sexing Code: Subversion, Theory and Representation is now available at Cambridge Scholars Publishing; it can also be ordered from Amazon UK.
