Graffiti Box

"Graffiti Box," Acrylic on Board, 40x30"

Here's the first entry in my new series.   I'm still refining by thinking, but here are the elements that are likely to end up in my eventual artist statement:

• women contained/constrained (by gender, by role, by environment, by culture...)
• the picture plane as a box (constraint) instead of a window

The model for this was the talented Jen Brown, who is a contortionist as well as an excellent figure model.
