And so a Post_genzken assemblies of latent forms, picked from the rubble of culture's meaning. Juxtapositions of surreal cultures, perma-wet newts draped over soft curves, lures, draw out the erotic bulbous content of two ergonomics, maternal and futuristic, formal erotics as design. Sex sells but make it latent for babies, and a generation later, adults questioning their attraction to PVC and silicone. Like reefs' sexual economics, generations of attraction breed the most sensual and beautiful creatures which design now too playing libidinal forms, like car interior's handles looking evermore like dildos, the attention here toward the fetishistic bits of a culture's attraction. A bassinet that looks undistinguishable from a sex toy, and so what does this say about culture.
