About the work:

This work is a small-scale acrylic on paper adaptation of an original sculptural work by the artist. The original piece, measuring 165 × 25 × 20 cm, is executed in acrylic on MDF and wood. It forms part of a series in which the artist reinterprets elements of her larger paintings and sculptures in more intimate formats and across different materials. All works in the series are framed.
