Pillow Book Illuminations I


I chose not to render the other person in the sex act since the work is about wanting an object, and not having one. I am looking at a lot of Shunga specifically and intend to finish 3 more little square illuminations such as this one to attach to the larger work with the fish. 


 I think fish are a wonderful symbol for sexuality because they are free, fluid, frightening, beautiful, and squirmy when you take them out of their safe place. The following picture is a bit disturbing and funny, but I think I'm not the only person who is getting the sexy fish vibe going on. As for the picture, here is where it came from.
