A square painting in a slim black frame on a white wall. The support is cloth pieced from panels — cream at the upper left, pink across the upper right, white along the bottom — the seams and creases visible. A nude is drawn over it in thin black brush line: a face in outline at the left with a red mark on it, an arm running down to a hand with drawn fingers at the lower left, and the body’s contour sweeping across the lower panel to a raised knee at the right. Across the pink field a mass of black, hot pink and cobalt blue is dragged, spattered and left to run. Signed in red at the lower centre.A fragile sensual confidence
