Two images side by side. The image on the left is an ink painting on paper depicting a baby at the breast of a figure who is not portrayed. The baby reclines as if nestled in someone’s arms. Dark lines render the depiction with dark ink washes, adding depth. Fluid, light ink washes curve around the baby’s body and the breast. The image on the right is a white marble sculpture of a pelvic region with a penis, broken up just under the thigh and just above the belly button. The sculpture resembles the statue *David* by Michelangelo. A pair of beige pantyhose is tied around the sculpture, draped on top of the stomach and then going underneath and around the thigh on our left.
