Is there any greater muse for an artist than a woman's beauty? How could you look at this duct-taped trash bag monstrosity of a sculpture inspired by Saddam Hussein's first wife and conclude otherwise? The sculpture of Sajida Talfah, currently being inflicted on those passing through London's Holland Park, was created by British artist Graham Hudson to evoke both the horror of war and "the suggestion of a woman, possibly one past her prime, attempting (not altogether successfully) to maintain her appearance."
