"Pieces"

 

This is a 1966/7 student painting, my dialogue with Pop Art and Hard Edge abstraction. When I made this study, one of the ‘QT and Me’ series, I was nude modelling to pay my way through college, interested in images men created of and about women: I put myself in the creators place, painting women with knowledge of how it feels to be gazed at and gazing, both body and mind, inside and outside, model and artist.
