Creative Access Description
Colour portrait 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 emerging from the dark, coffin-shaped doorway of a structure made from large irregular stones, possibly a crypt or a cave. Her arm is outstretched toward the viewer and her facial expression is one of animated awakening. 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.Description
