I
hate you, I hate this house and I hate Christmas!
Jerry Kochendoerfer is a lifelong admirer of John Waters. And he's a sculptor
to boot. Here's the culmination of his talent and his obsession...
"As a tribute of my own, I've created this sculpture of Divine as
Dawn Davenport in that infamous scene from Female Trouble. I was just
being born when Female Trouble was released but discovered these films
later on. And for whatever reason, this is the scene that sticks out the
most in my mind within the Waters pantheon. It's hard to tell from the
photos but the lights on the tree actually flash and there's an engraved
plate that reads: "I hate you, I hate this house and I hate Christmas!"
As much as I'd enjoy keeping this for my personal collection, I'd ultimately
like to give it to John as a way of thanking him for influencing me as
an artist."
