This painting is from a series of work that consists of women who are either standing or sitting, crouched or squatting, folded and/or sleeping. Her whole figure is captured within the borders of the canvas as a metaphor for society trying to control, restrain and measure women. Each woman makes the space her own and displays a quiet reliance.
