Ms. Emin has created many controversial creations and when questioned usually falls back to this statement. It is of course valid, as so many view art in different ways/styles/mediums, and what one person considers art, another decides is worthless. I use both film and digital cameras - often it has to be said for different purposes - but the end result of that I keep to me is *some* form of art. If the same image was created as a watercolour and an oil painting and a photographic image of both film and digital, all of them would gain some support for the methods used and the final result and an equal number of critics. Art is art, but which image would be best? Too many personal conflicts between the creator and the viewer. Topics like this are similar to holding a firework display in a greenhouse. Malcolm
