Posted on December 22, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Saw this in Kings Park today. At first I thought these women’s genitals had been very poorly rendered by the artist, until I realised that they had been added later by “amateur” craftsmen. That’s the problem with limestone, you can … Continue reading →

Posted on December 10, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Emptying her Jugs

Posted on October 20, 2008 by AHC McDonald
