So how can a woman who takes revenge on her perceived enemies by mailing her turds to them, pass comment on another's ugliness?
It's all very well expecting the public to be taken in by "installations" of un-made beds, pickled cows and turds on neo-classical plinths.
I realize that there are plenty of eco-minded outdoors people who take their relationship with Mother Earth very seriously, and I applaud their efforts as they stay on the trails, leave native flora unstomped, gingerly wrap up and carry out their turds in napkins, etc, but I can honestly say that sort of wildlife fun has never been my experience.
