Aug 24, 2010: Drill Baby

Drill Baby is not a real baby, it's vinyl rubber, mohair, oil paint, and plaster over an aluminum armature.



Drill Baby is tattooed with images of the BP offshore drilling disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Oily Pelicans and Seagulls, Fish swimming in blackened water, a clipper ship with floating oil barrels, and the Virgin Mary-ish figure grasping a dripping gas nozzle.

The local Art Gallery has just bought a very similar piece. I took the students to look at another exhibit yesterday. They happened to wander past one in the same style and I couldn't drag them away from it.

Seems just a little extreme to voice your position on BP. Why a tattooed baby? Who actually thought that would be way to get their point across?

Tattoos marring the pristine flesh of a baby symbolizes oil marring the pristine environment of the Gulf.




Maybe.

I admit that I'm no artist. But I would have come up with something like a sea turtle crying tears of oil or something like that. But hey...that's why I'm not an artist.

There was an odd scene in The Sopranos where Ralph blackmailed a Native American by threatening to publicise the fact that that guy was actually Italian.

How pristine can the gulf be with Castro rotting in the middle of it?
