Hello from Alaska,
A little warning please. My children enjoy looking at the sites with me.
I didn't enter the site with a scene like that on the front door. Art is
no excuse for pornography.

slowly getting better - laptop on my lap - phone at my side 715-425-5715

Kurt, Please don't blame Alaska. I'm in Alaska and I found the site
wonderful. I loved the images and found myself smiling and I think I even
felt a breeze in my face as i was looking at the "Wind" sculpture.

To me, those sculptures are captured moments in the lives of other ordinary
people, not those with perfect bodies but wonderful expressions, both
facial and body language of the simple joys that each of us need to do more
of. I'm not sure when mankind decided that a naked body is pornographic
but I must suggest that since some of us don't-- it must be their thoughts
that are in the gutter!

Cheers--Tempy

Forgive me, but I had no intention of blaming Alaska. It was my first
reaction and attempt to question where the writer was "coming from"
ideologically. morally or whatever.

I too, found the site wonderful!

Curiosity got the best of me so I visited the site. Porno was nowhere to be
found. I guess it's all in the eye and mind of the beholder.
Reminds me of the old joke at the psychiatrist showing ink blot tests and the
viewer saw something pornographic in each one. And the psychiatrist said, all
you think of is sex!!! And the patient said "well, you're the one showing me
the dirty pictures!"
On another but similar note, on a visit to Italy some years ago, I had to buy
a tea shirt to cover my shoulders because my bare shoulders were considered
immodest to say the least! Well, I get into the vatican and everywhere I
looked were nude statues! I got a good laugh out of that one!

Regards,
June Perry

Knit,

I didn't have the same response as you, I thought the figures on the home page were
some of the finest renderings of the human form I've seen in a long while. But
regardless, click past the home page and bring your kids back into the room to see
some absolutely wonderful expressive (and clothed) sculpture. Scroll slowly
thought, your offending "lovers" sculpture is included somewhere in the series.

Enjoy!
