I've looked at the image closely-- it's not one that would offend me though it does repel me. I don't see clarifying elements in the composition that are not very ambiguous. For instance, The black heart with the dollar sign that she seems to have been in some sort of sexual contingency with-- whose is it? and why is she seemingly so satisfied? If it was intended to make a statement it is unclear what that statement is. So, some sort of misunderstandings could easily arise. I'm not much on art as statement anyway. They usually degrade women just as a throwaway to some ideal being trumpeted. Not that I think any tiny bit of art can actually degrade women. Not that I want any censorship. I mainly don't like art as statement because I don't want to be preached to by some kid who suddenly discovered there are ideals in the world. So, Art as statement better be damned F@cking good before I'll even glance at it twice. Somebody gave you some hassles so I glanced at yours more than twice. Doesn't seem to have rocked "the world as we know it" to its knees. Emily
