Its fair enough if you don't like it but to say that the artist is sick is ridiculous. I've seen far more shocking pieces of art, and if the artist was making it for shock value (which i don't believe) alone then many of you have fulfilled this. I'm not saying I even like all of it, but I can appreciate the idea and find some of the pieces quite beautiful. I can’t understand why this is causing so much outrage.

For me, Design is about questioning perception, asking questions of the audience. Kelly’s pieces do that. I have seen her work previously, and I admire her work immensely. The audience should be asking themselves why they don’t like the work, and why do they feel like they do when they see it. Are these the feelings that the designer wanted us to feel? Has she accomplished what she intended? From the reaction here, I reckon she has, like Andy says, I see more repulsive things in our society, which seem to be more accomodated by the general populus!

Do I hear a resounding no? I have, and it is exquisitely done. You may dislike Kelly's work but please do not talk about something you judge from a photo, go see it. I hear the V&A museum is featuring it in its summer 2009 exhibition... Well… before criticising something of being poorly executed, dare I ask: have you seen the work in the flesh?

It's also very beautiful and less repulsive than a lot of people. Thanks Andy It’s got all of you talking about it, mission accomplished I think.
