... that Graham Crowley's painting Spider with Mushroom Soup uses a jagged tin can to evoke the image of a vagina dentata? Source: Grove Art Online: "The simmering tensions within intimate relationships is the real underlying theme of works such as Spider with Mushroom Soup (1982–3; London, AC England Col.), in which the phallic extension of a can opener is thrust into an opened tin whose sharp and jagged edges turn it into the psychologically threatening image of a ‘vagina dentata’. This picture of sexual intrigue and domestic violence has a theatrical air, but despite its setting it owes less to Kitchen-Sink realism than to the language of Expressionist cinema or film-noir movies. https://doi-org.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/10.1093/gao/9781884446054.article.T097176

Overall: Citation for the hook can be read in full through the Wikipedia Library (under Oxford Art Online). The main section could be further split into subsections, but that is just advice. By my count, prose (excluding citation text) went from 526 characters to 4155 characters, roughly an 8-fold increase. BD2412T18:42, 5 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
