The rhetoric reminded me of women in college who used to say they were
nobody's "flower pot" and that they lived in life for more than the purpose
of bearing someone's seed. I always thought it was a clever saying.
And, it's how I feel about the issue. I think way too much time is given
to the workings of her vagina. LOL Then while thinking of this, I came
across an article online about Britney Spears moving out of the spotlight
and back to the country to raise her kids in an environment more like the
one in which she was raised. And, so the idea was born of the star child
leaving the magical place and going back to live among those things mundane,
for the sake of her right to be an ordinary mother.

So, I created a sort of fun satirical piece, in digital collage
(my new best friend in times when I just can't get to the studio at all... )
