"The distinction between art and pornography is one that the law has struggled with throughout the history of civilisation. Art is aimed at aesthetic experience while pornography is solely concerned with sexual arousal. The two are incompatible. In other words, the different responses of the viewer is what determines whether something is art or pornography. Ultimately it is the viewer, not a judge, who decides." - Monice du Soir ● An open edition folio of six 'c-type' chromogenic prints on Fuji Crystal Archive paper Printed from hi-resolution scans of the original large format wet collodion plates ● A.
