The Tangle
Initially, the subject of this painting was nude, as if she were just getting out of the bath and finishing her ablutions. Somehow this billowy, buttery shape enveloped her and her brow began to furrow. The rituals imposed on women for eons around beautification and adornment fascinate me and trouble me. What is she pondering? Is the tangle in her head or in her heart?
