ON THE FEMALE BODY AS TRANSGRESSIVE ICON: ARTISTIC INTENTIONS VERSUS CRITICAL RECONTEXTUALISATIONS 3

Dear Toyin,
I have looked at your blog [ at http://wengerdunnmaltwood.blogspot. com/ ] and would prefer not to be mentioned or have any of our images involved in it. Partly this is because I choose to control the context in which my work is presented in order for it to maintain its integrity. Further I would not be happy about it being presented alongside some of the images you have chosen to include. For women there is a very fine line between images that celebrate our divine feminine and those that exploit - I feel that some of your photos cross that boundary and serve not to honour but to denigrate. Pornography remains pornography even when it is dressed up as art. I am sure that this is an issue that could be debated at length but I am going by instinct and do not feel comfortable being part of your presentation. I wish you well
