This series of bronzes juxtapose academic and porn star panties. Porn stars and academics are cultural heroes. They are both in the forefront of thought and practice around issues such as sexuality, sexism and identity politics. In the academic world the brightest intellectuals are fetishized in a manner that bears certain similarities to the ways in which porn fans adore their stars. Both are sexy, powerful and compelling. This work is homage and a wink to the bravery and chutzpah of porn stars and adventurous academics who are physically and intellectually stimulating, be it in the classroom or on the silver screen.
