| The sculpture 'The Presidential Bust of Hillary
Rodham Clinton. |
A sculpture of Hillary Clinton was unveiled Wednesday at the Museum of
Sex in New York City. It's called a "presidential bust" of the Senator,
which seems to be an appropriate title.
Sculptor Daniel Edwards
created the artwork and hopes it will spark discussion about sex, politics
and celebrity.
Edwards, the artist who also created a life-size nude of Britney Spears
giving birth on a bear-skin rug, said he wanted to capture Clinton's age
and femininity in the sculpture.
Clinton's office had no immediate comment.
Edwards said his work features soft "presidential smile" and wrinkles
framing her eyes. A floral
pattern runs across her breasts, part of Edwards' effort to present
Clinton "as a woman -- not a covered up person, but as a woman."
"I didn't want to give her a face
lift or change her age," he said of his work.
"The key was to reveal her chest a little bit. She usually covers
herself up, but I don't think that's necessary."

本周三，希拉里·克林頓的雕像在紐約性博物館展出。這尊雕像有一個恰當的名字，被稱為希拉里的“總統半裸像”。（譯者注：目前，希拉里正在為2008年美國總統大選做準備。）
這尊雕像出自雕塑家丹尼爾·愛德華之手，他希望這尊雕像能引起人們對性、政治以及社會名流的討論。
愛德華曾經還塑造了一尊如真人大小的“小甜甜”布蘭妮的雕像，雕像中的布蘭妮赤身裸體，正躺在一張熊皮墊子上分娩。愛德華說，他想在希拉里的這尊雕像中反映出她的年齡和女性氣質。
目前，希拉里方面沒有立即做出回應。
愛德華說，這尊雕像刻畫出希拉里溫柔的“總統微笑”和她眼睛周圍的皺紋。她的胸部上雕有花的圖案，愛德華制作此雕像的目的之一就是想將希拉里塑造為“一個純粹的女人，而不是一個被遮得嚴嚴實實的人。”
他說：“我沒有對她的面容進行修整，也沒有改變她的年齡。”
“關鍵是我將她的胸部露出來了一點。她總是穿得很‘嚴實’，但我認為這沒有什么必要。”
