the hazards of sunbathing


This one's from my deep archives, one of the first 10 collages I ever made. Background
from a Scientific American diagram comparing the atmosphere of Titan, one of Jupiter's moons, in brown, to that of Earth, in blue. The text for Titan's atmosphere includes "thick photochemical haze" & "methane"--yuk! Sunbather is from Carlos Perez Siquier's "Muñeca, 1974/2007." Devils are from an illustration by Yue Minjun.

  3. WoW! Great images juxtaposed with great images. Gets the point across very well.

    One of my relatives soaked up so many rays during her lifetime the poor thing looked like a football near the end...convinced me to use an umbrella in sunny situations as well as hats and cover-ups. I do use some sun screen on my face but I am suspicious of the stuff in it and prefer to simply avoid the blazing star!!
