โ€˜I never saw Miss Thomas again. It was only a week or two later that she was killed in the street by a runaway horse-and-dray carrying barrels of beer. It wasnโ€™t the horse that killed her but one of the barrels: it rolled off and completely crushed her. She was a little wisp of a woman and a barrel of beer was too much for her. Poor thing! she was a member of the Temperance Society, too, and they all clubbed together and sent her a beautiful wreath of violets woven into a harp.โ€™

(from The Vetโ€™s Daughter, 1959)

A circular collage hangs from a thin white hand. In it, a giant relaxed woman with dark hair and a floral bathing suit appears to wade in a river in front of bridges bridges. A toy-sized swan-shaped paddle boat kicks up water, splashing her.

Getting the kids into collage means having a minute to make something myself.

I gotta be honest, there's a lot going on here, but I'll try my best. Here goes...

a diamond oriented canvas. The background is blue, green, and brown baby fish.

 In the top center are two women dressed elegantly sexy, one holding the chin of the other. They have tendrils coming out of their heads and arms. They are encircled in a broken gold frame, with three staggered lines of text: "...you owe it to yourself to experience / the risks and constant suffering of / leaving bites that didn't fully heal for weeks" (some of the text is laid over the eyes of the two women). Above them is a statue of jesus surrounded by lights. Below them is a spiky looking container of green goo.

To the right of center, there is a black and white drawing of a skeleton laying in a coffin. Beside her is a photo of a segmented side profile bust with sections of the head partitioned off labelled with parts of identity ("Individuality" being the prominently viewable one) with an acorn hovering above it. It is facing a swan in front of a moon that has it's wings flared like it's just settling in the water. Below the head is a scientific scan of a flower. 

To the left of center is a photo of a cartoon cat with pleased eyes, and reacing across the bottom of it is a diagram with squares laid out and labelled in relation to the sun and the planets. 

The bottom center has a giant fish eyeball with butterfly wings with text across the pupil that reads "A separate network of brain activity kicks in". The top of the butterflyeball is on top of a circular graph with red ink scratches from readout, the bottom of it is overlaid a large, half circle of tree fungus. Extending from the bottom to the left corner is a seahorse body cut to look like a tendril. Halfway up the tendril is a decrepit skull with flowers coming out the head.

The bottom corner is a cartoon drawing of a woman, the head is a triangle cut shape from an icing shaker. 

All around the collage, filling in blank spaces, is pieces of a black and white photo of cells.

There are a few small details missing from this description, but it is hard to know how to fit it into this text 

Thank you for reading ๐Ÿ˜Š

trying to have empathy for my dog, who was so invested in eating his own poop in the snowy yard that his legs froze up and i had to carry him inside, by imagining how awesome it would be to eat a cold piece of poop. and its not working that good
