Monument to Pro-Life by Daniel Edwards

2007-12-11T22:25:00.001-08:00

I was reading up on the pro life movement and I came across these interesting sculptures created by Daniel Edwards as a response to Pop Cultures and addressing issues such as pro-life, drinking, and a woman's sexuality along with others. Definitely worth a look.

[back view]

BROOKLYN (March 22, 2006) --- A nude Britney Spears on a bearskin rug while giving birth to her firstborn marks a ‘first’ for Pro-Life. Pop-star Britney Spears is the “ideal” model for Pro-Life and the subject of a dedication at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg gallery district, in what is proclaimed the first Pro-Life monument to birth, in April.

Dedication of the life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Spears’ baby boy, Sean, and applauds her decision of placing family before career. “A superstar at Britney’s young age having a child is rare in today’s celebrity culture. This dedication honors Britney for the rarity of her choice and bravery of her decision,” said gallery co-director, Lincoln Capla. The dedication includes materials provided by Manhattan Right To Life Committee.

“Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston,” believed Pro-Life’s first monument to the ‘act of giving birth,’ is purportedly an idealized depiction of Britney in delivery. Natural aspects of Spears’ pregnancy, like lactiferous breasts and protruding naval, compliment a posterior view that depicts widened hips for birthing and reveals the crowning of baby Sean’s head.

The monument also acknowledges the pop-diva’s pin-up past by showing Spears seductively posed on all fours atop a bearskin rug with back arched, pelvis thrust upward, as she clutches the bear’s ears with ‘water-retentive’ hands.

“Britney provides inspiration for those struggling with the ‘right choice’,” said artist Daniel Edwards, recipient of a 2005 Bartlebooth award from London’s The Art Newspaper. “She was number one with Google last year, with good reason --- people are inspired by the beauty of a pregnant woman,” said Edwards.

Capla Kesting denies the statue was developed from a rumored bootleg Britney Spears birth video. The artist admits to using references that include the wax figure of a pole-dancing Britney at Las Vegas’ Madame Tussauds and ‘Britney wigs’ characterizing various hairstyles of the pop-princess from a Los Angeles hairstylist. And according to gallery co-director, David Kesting, the artist studied a bearskin rug from Canada “to convey the commemoration of the traditional bearskin rug baby picture.”

photos of the early days. (fall of 2006)

"L.L.D.D." was started by Lanie and I when we were working at FIDM
as work-study students who were always hungry eating anything that was in sight. for the real. good times.

back to the subject...
we brainstormed for our mark and wanted to not only have a popular image, but also a name that sent out a message.
lanie came up with the "Laugh. Live" part.
and yas, myself, came up with the "Dream.Do." part.
self explanatory and to the point. Hoping that any stranger that walks by our stickers will get inspired by our message to enjoy life and your blessings, while not forgetting to just "Laugh" and "Live".
We also believe we should all be productive individuals and that anything is possible, therefore we all need to "Dream" and just "Do".
