Bowl ...

... when I pointed to this bowl, in the gift shop at the Art Gallery of NSW, indicating that was the one I wanted to purchase and take home with me that very night, the woman said to me "promise you won't freak out if I tell you what it's modeled on?" So of course I looked carefully at it, and said, "a boob?". "Possibly," she replied, "or a buttock".
"Goodness," said I, clutching at my (imagined) pearls, "a remarkably poky-out buttock". The woman then confessed she wasn't actually sure, but she believed the big blue one, alongside, was modeled on a fecund woman about to do the wild howl at the moon thing. This, of course, did not freak me out one little bit, I've even tried it on! It's one of Samantha Robinson's many and fabulous watermelon bowls.
