From the Ephemeralia Series. A early painting from the Connective Tissue Series. I had Rachel sit for me and then change direction halfway through the pose. We would switch back and forth every five minutes or so, paying close attention to intersections an negative space. It’s curious how the figure on the left became more masculine.
Collection of Eliza Brockway
