It’s progressing nicely. Michael Heyward now lives in a country where we are forbidden to see the work of one of our major artists: the police have been busier than we thought. Catherine Lumby declares her intense seriousness and personal involvement and grasp of the subtleties involved, then says, as usual, that it’s fine by her. She should get herself a rubber stamp.
Meanwhile the press and the police have decided the issue is about whether the photographs are art or pornography, thus excluding all other principles, such as decency. Licence or law, take your pick.
