Perhaps she's never met any men

I love this story, not for the subject matter (okay, a little bit for that) but for the punchline the artist unwittingly provides at the end:

Tamera Bremer titled the life-size nude self-portrait she laboriously wove into a rug "the sexy sex: all-nude review rug one." Somebody apparently found it fetching, and late Monday it vanished from an exhibit floor at Linfield College.

Bremer said the latch-hook work took thousands of hours and she valued it in the five-figure range.

It was the first in a five-rug project the Portland artist, an adjunct professor at Linfield, has in the works.

The curvy cutout was fashioned from monk's cloth, a heavy cotton, and hand-painted in 10 colors on alpaca yarn.

"I don't understand why anyone would want to steal something like this," she said. "Whoever did it doesn't understand what they've done. It's my life's work."

What's not to understand? It's a rug with a picture of a naked lady on it. I mean, sure, you could just download porn from the internet (or so I'm told) but that doesn't really provide you with a conversation piece like the naked lady rug.
