Very still pose, maybe the wind has blown hair across the face, or she has just turned to the right .. so the idea is a moment of stillness, and perhaps she is just about to get up or say something… and hopefully she is just balanced between being a student and being self-sufficient?
I construct these pieces, so they are synthetic in the sense that I just conjure them out of my faltering memory, rather than draw from life.. [ this relies on having drawn from life a lot previously ].. when things go well, really, this person will assert themselves, their identity into the picture…
