ABOUT: She had recently moved from a small rural town to attend college here in a larger city. She spoke of her conservative family, but now with the liberalism of a progressive education, she had also realized her non-binary gender identity, and with this a wish to express this through activism and protests. All this was the impetus for this painting. This is very much a portrait of my model.
MEDIUM: Watercolor on paper
SIZE: 18″ H x 24″ W (framed)
DESCRIPTION: A rather small work, and simple in pose and composition. Yet, the pose and title are intended to have ambiguity. Is this the winner’s podium, the swimmer’s starting block, or even a position of torture? The model is masked. There is much unknown.
