Elizabeth Fleming v Jock Sturges v Pedophilia v The Internet...

Wow,  this is the kind of discussion that ultimately gets intimately revealing about all concerned. I have been aware of (and admired) Jock Sturges' work for quite some time, and while it most definitely walks a fine line, I never found it prurient by any means. Until now, I was most definitely not aware of his most definite "indiscretion," and while it certainly tends to cast a shadow on his character- it's ridiculous to say that... ah yes, I see it now, his work has clearly crossed the line all along...

This subject matter is definitely not one for blatant generalizations. But I find it curious that while Elizabeth Fleming may raise some pertinent questions as to how Mr. Sturges' work might be shown and construed on the internet, despite some very obvious differences in style, motivation and even content, if we're talking interpretation- the same could very much be said in relation to her work!
