For art’s sake
Native American art from the Pacific Northwest can be an acquired taste. Once you get past the yes but aren’t they a little squatty? first impression, you get to thinking a lot of it is quite beautiful.
But then along came the pioneers and, in the fullness of time, chain saws. Chain saw art was born.
Retailers began using chain saw art to lure us in to purchase, oh say, coffee with shellfish to go.
Then the whole thing got out of hand and gnome art was born. I have worried that this is someone’s self portrait.
Is that a salmon in your pants or …?
And now cement women seem to be sprouting up like toadstools. I tell you, Dogpatch may not be a community with a whole lot of hoity toity art. But, by God, we know what we like.
