This painting is acrylic on two canvases. It is from the woman at the bottom of the tubs' perspective. The woman at the end of the tub is pregnant and the man going back in space is her unfaithful husband having intercourse.

This piece is called "The Chosen One", it is a self portrate. The mediums I used are yarn, gold leaf, acrilic, watercolor, and oil paint.
While looking at this piece ask yourself: Where do woman BELONG in the church? Under men? Is god a male or a felmale? Why? How come a woman cannot be a priest? Who pases down religon through out the generations?
Woman can be a part of the church but, under the male hierarchys. The Bible says god was a man but why? Woman can not be a priest and no logical reason has been given. Mothers generally are the voice that introduce religon to are youth but, again they maintain little to no power in the church.
