Skulptur Linda Cordell kreiert eine krankhafte Porzellanvignettenfigur von Abraham Lincoln, deren Fleisch von seinen Schultern hängt, als sich eine eifrige Ratte nähert. See porcelain statue below: “Socially awkward and full of repressed anger, I anesthetize myself spending mindless hours carving detailed texture on humorous and/or uncomfortable animal sculptures. A child of the revisionist era, my work reinterprets the figurine enabling animals to break the chains of cuteness and noble savagery. An appreciation of the ridiculous, a love of beauty and skilled craftsmanship, and the belief that domestic objects are social propaganda all contribute to my work.”
