Crouching Britney, Hidden agenda???

I stumbled upon this article today on the controversial sculptor and his new piece, to be displayed in Billyburg this April. Although I have not seen it in the flesh, this odd looking piece of sculpture stirs up a mixture of emotions in me. There is also the issue of "prolife" message supposedly attached to this thing. For some reason I just cannot see Britney Spears as a model or inspiration for a sculpture related to childbirth (especially in that weird crouching pose.) And regardless of where you stand in the prolife vs prochoice issue, I can't help wondering what the real motive of the sculptor is. But as they say, controversy makes art interesting.
