The Skull
II
There are lots of pictures
of skulls or other animal bones in close proximity to the female nude.
On my part this was my third attempt and I am still not completely happy
with it (but I'm afraid Chelsea would start to doubt my motives if I
were to keep on placing wombat skulls on her pubis).
Of course you are free
to make whatever interpretation you like - and I hope you will. A lot
will depend whether you see the model as having a passive or deliberate
role in this image. Also, are you attracted to the contrast between
the texture of the skin and the bone?
The wombat skull is exactly
the right size to cover Chelsea's pubic hair except for the few strands
that poke out through the eyeholes. This is erotic in the sense that
it lets you look at the area of her body normally considered most sexually
charged... without actually seeing it. Beyond that, well we all have
to ponder how the most beautiful of living creatures must ultimately
age and die. Life (Sex) and death in the same image - the Great Mystery.
