Statement:
My objective with this piece was to allude to its historical context, being previously called Gate of our Lady de la Leche. The gate was named this originally because the Lady de la Leche chapel was the only thing the road led to, when the gate was fist built. The piece was supposed to be satirical of christianity. The associations made with christianity that went into the piece were: Money, Milk, Garbage (referring to its value), and birth. I chose to use an egg with a money face to illuminate the church's capitalization off the birth of christ. The stools and pews were made of money and garbage as well. The whole piece is meant to be metaphorical. It is made to be a replica of the Lady de la Leche chapel. I feel this piece was successful because some viewers took it upon themselves to vandalize it. This told me that my message was received.
