When I was teaching art to children in my twenties, we collectively kept journals using old books. One of the students pulled from their book two folded printouts and held it in the air with a look of horror. From a particularly traumatizing childhood experience, I immediately I knew it was some kind of porn. I snatched it from the students hand, and moved on with the class without skipping a beat. 

After class, I was relieved to see two dated images that were sourced from the internet using keywords "getting spanked".

This painting is in memory of this memory.
