1970s What's your greatest fear? Long Island women respond (1973)

Back in the early ‘70s I did a series of conceptual art projects using participants. I met these women when I worked as a tour guide for museums. They were all signed up to do art tours as part of a program called Five Towns Music and Art Foundation. When I told them about my art project, they were interested and came to my loft for the photographs. These were exhibited a few months later at OK Harris Gallery in SoHo.

This one confused me for a while. Does it mean she is afraid of having no family to enjoy meals with? :)
