Creative Access Description

Colour landscape image showing a photographic print hanging on the white wall of a gallery space. The print features a black and white image of a naked feminine person with blonde hair in an up do lying straight on their back amidst bushes and sticks and upon a bed of moss or other vegetation. They are surrounded by a number of lit candles as if in a ritual or ceremony. The image is rendered in a way that suggests a gothic fairytale or similar context. The photograph is printed on light brown large format fibre-based paper with unfinished and noticeably curling edges, furthering the work's antique quality. Underneath the image the work title, artist's name, and year of work are handwritten in cursive. It is fastened to the wall by two nails driven through small grommets in the upper corners of the paper.
