Should Christian Art Students Study the Nude Figure?

tracey emin wins 'art in a religious context' award

tracey emin wins art + christian enquiry [url="http://www.whitecube.com/news/181/"]award[/url] for [i]art in a christian context[/i] -- tracey emin?! hmm

i remember reading an interview where she noted that no one ever discusses the religious/ spiritual aspect of her work and instead focusses on the shock/ scatological aspects.

curious.

more about art + christian inquiry (ACE) here.
