A NOISELESS, PATIENT SPIDER

Week 21.  Digital Video, Color, 2:43

Happy Halloween. 

For me, spiders are the most terrifying creatures in the world. I hate to be startled almost more than anything…and spiders are the kind of creatures that scurry across your shorts for minutes, undetected, and then suddenly land their 8 horrifying legs on your sensitive thigh out of nowhere, a tiny poisonous little tickle against your skin that does not belong. 

Though I find them truly nightmarish and petrifying, I can also understand and appreciate their beauty and wonder as marvels of the natural world. So, here I am, trying to meet them halfway.
