Goddesses and Women of Mexico
Woman of the TLC
TLC
is, in Spanish, the acronym for the Tratado de
Libre Comercio, or North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA).
Made of
plywood rather than the richly aged wood
favored by the artist in his other sculptures, this woman's
shiny exterior is covered with the logos of multi-national
corporations and protected by 10 coats of varnish.
Her features are undistinguished, vague and unpleasing to
the eye.
The Woman
of the TLC has forsaken her heritage, traded
in her natural gracefulness for slickness and forgotten
her roots.
The Woman
of the TLC, in the eyes of Arq. Arturo Macias,
is harsh -- she has lost her feminine softness and warmth.

Beachwood Ohio
