Letters of approval for my work, I could only get a link to the first one but here a pic of the printed page.

Somewhere in there is a letter from the Landlord/Management in their defence... They just sound like fools. Funny about that!

What Controversy?
How many ways we see the female anatomy and it is never offensive. Is it the protruding male anatomy that is offensive? Certainly not in my friends Papua New Guinean Art collection, it is right out there as a symbol of masculinity and he gloats that no one bats an eyelid. Ah Ha, I say... Because there is an innocence in it's depiction, where as mine is far from innocent but the innocent cannot see it... I work hard on this 'not in your face depiction'.
I really like this article but I am not sure that the writer has noticed that my pear shaped female forms also double up as being phallic. Hence the romantic inclinations, in a point of union, two become one.

Not 'TOO EROTIC' for the front page!
This blog is a bit delayed but the article still stands true... The picture on the front page is in my studio and not the 'Eros and Rose' shop in question, I wanted the photographer to go there because I believe the background sums it up at a glance. I am really grinning inside because he thought my work was so beautiful and I was about to expose the dictatorship of my landlord and management.
My intention was never to insult but merely highlight the foundation of romantic notions.
