This was my argument, I am one of the first people to document the sewers and hidden spaces within the drains of the cities we live in, the only recorded well known photographer to do this was Nadar back in the 1860's. I argued this point to them and they basically said I should not be allowed to recieve my degree as I had breached various codes of ethics and rules stated by the University. I pointed out that no art has ever progressed without boundaries being pushed, they did not want to hear about it. Oh well the work ended up in various exhibitions outside of university, and I have moved on. I have an interesting reputation at the Uni now, and when receiving my degree from the Dean of the Uni was greeted with the words: "ahhh Drain boy" so I guess it kinda got me known.
