...My take on Richard's images is that the montage of the acts and objects (genitalia and limbs and bodies and furniture) creates an interesting clash that is at once lurid and fascinating. Almost like watching the Hannibal Lecter movies, but with the focus being on positive playfulness of sexuality rather than the power/violence/depravity side of it...
