nude with selachophobia
This postcard was for a swap-bot challenge to depict what you most fear. (I put the collage on a background of William Morris's "Pimpernel" design, because I am soothed by William Morris, so it helped me to stay calm while setting up the image.) Now, I'm afraid of spiders, but lots of people are afraid of spiders. My relationship with sharks is rather more complicated...You have to understand: I love sharks. They are sleek, beautiful, ancient, misunderstood animals who are endangered by fishing all over the world. I founded the mailing list SHARK-L; I'm an activist for shark conservation; I even built a website devoted to all things sharky. BUT (here's the complicated part) I grew up with a large, angry, irrational, all-consuming mother, so ever since early childhood, I've been afraid of being eaten alive. I have this fear that I will be quietly minding my own business--like Pierre Bonnard's wife putting on her cologne, from the gorgeous "Nude Against Daylight"--and this monster will swoop in from nowhere, open her horrendous maw, chomp me into chunks, and eat me up! (Boy, I sure hope my mother never reads this. =laugh=)
