An artist has been

given a £20,000

National Lottery grant –

to look at girls’ bums.

Sue Williams was

given the money to

“explore cultural attitudes

towards female buttocks”,

reports The Sun.

She will create plaster cast

moulds of women’s behinds

to try to understand their

place in contemporary culture.

Mrs Williams, 53,

of Swansea,

will also examine different

racial attitudes towards

bums in Europe and Africa.

She said:

“The project is taking on

the issues around the bottom.”

Emma Geliot from the

Arts Council of Wales,

which awarded the grant,

said:

“This produces a tee-hee

response but there is a

serious point.”
