Hah hah, goog question. I see many climbing subjects in your work :) A guy climbing up a woman's leg with a clear idea where he would end. Not this nice lady climbing asparagus with that pickaxe dangerously dangling from her waist (i hope she won't use it due to associations i am having) lol
So many objects in your work are striving for some point of climax. I am not sure if that could be called phallic (as english ain't my mother tongue too, so i can't fully grasp the meaning of it) but there certainly is some hidden content that Froid could have a say about for sure :)
"Striving for some point of climax".. excellent way of putting it. There have been a few remarks about the hidden meaning of this piece. The owner is a doctor, though not psychiatrist, he is quite in tune with innuendos and hints. He also calls me the "master of subtle obscenities" ... to me actually a compliment ;-)
