Rorschach Test

 

Two witches fighting. Instead of hands, they have sharp, twisted antlers.

 

A topographical map of Turkey.

 

Two lovers whose hearts had left their bodies & were meeting in mid-air for

an exchange of positive energy.

 

A pelvic bone in the style of Georgia O’Keefe but with a live vagina.

 

A coral reef.

 

An eagle’s beak.

 

A moth with highly evolved wings.

 

The Battle of the Crustaceans. Two shrimp contesting possession of a blade of

spartina grass. Below them, two crabs wait as reinforcements.

 

A shaman’s handheld totem consisting of an animal skin attached like wings to

a thin bone or stick tipped with a carved phallus & adorned with feathers.

Obviously an indispensable spiritual tool.
