Flesh and Moan

----

'Nothing here but flesh and moan', George Michael.

So goes one of my favourite lines from a George Michael song.  And apparently, a line that fits appropriately for an upcoming art exhibition I'm in. 

Last week I was told that the theme for our studio's annual exhibition will be based on the book Fifty Shades of Grey.  Just to clarify, most of the people participating in the studio exhibition are well and truly over fifty and female.  It's hard to imagine a number of ladies all around my mum's age deciding that the exhibition's theme should be based on an erotic novel that features S&M, but there it is.  I'm still uncertain how they came to that decision, but like most things in life I find myself happy for it to remain a mystery.  Although the speculation is rather fun.



The mind boggles. 

My neighbouring artist, a plucky lady my own mum's age piped up one afternoon and suggested that we tie fluffy handcuffs to the entrance door.  I'm not sure if she was joking, but i quite liked the idea myself. 

How I love being an artist.
