E.L.F. #14, "Folly of the Predator. . . .Elusiveness of the Prey"

12x20 in., 2001

Acrylic

This is a depiction of the hardships and male chauvinisim that women face in the world.

The small, screaming face in the very middle of the piece is a woman who has just been asked to give a sexual favor in exchange for a promotion (a promotion, which she DESERVES anyway, because she can do her job better than anyone else at the firm!)

The huge face in the upper center of the piece is the "head boss." He always gives women a smack on the butt when they leave his office.

The one with fangs at the bottom, has rank that lies just beneath the head boss, and he is the one who asked the woman to sleep with him in order for her to "step up."

The smiley face in the upper right hand corner of the piece is a stupid woman who doesn't mind whoring herself just to be successful. She rotates between the beds of the two boss men every night of the week. (If they were more observant they would have seen her warts and realized that there was something wrong with her. . . . .but horny men in power don't care about such things!)

The other faces represent those oblivious or uncaring people, who don't have a f______ clue, or those who see what is going on and do nothing to stop it.

Perhaps the fact that I was raised by a single mother makes me sensitive to issues like these. I have an infinite amount of love and adoration for women, and I will do whatever possible to protect and support them.

Oh, by the way. . . at the end of the story, the woman sues the firm for sexual harassment and comes away with a court victory and a $5,000,000 settlement. She lived happily ever after.

The oblivious and uncaring people, remained uncaring and oblivious.

The whore woman was fired by the two boss men after the trial, due to the fact that they wanted to keep a low profile and shine up their image again. They secretly gave her $300,000 to keep quiet about everything.

A month after her dismissal, both boss men found out that she had given them herpes.
