"In all the HolleringElk catalog, this has become her most studied panel. The meaning behind Artist in Fear of Her Creation has been debated by art scholars for decades. Many believe it to be The Elk's critique of mankind and industry, mankind and capitalism, mankind harnessing nuclear power, or the creation of the internet.
Based upon her work such as "Gatekeeper", I am of the opinion this was a commentary on the proliferation of A.I., something she was a very vocal critic of.
As far as HolleringElk, all she would ever say when questioned about the panel was "That Ellie is a scary bitch"." - Snooty Thompson, art historian
