Original artwork description:

The model, Amanda, co-operated wonderfully during the prolonged execution of this complex painting. The triptych is hinged enabling the two outer portions to fold over and cover the centrepiece; the closed doors are decorated with a reclining figure in pastel of another model, Shan.

See Individual panels for details: Left, Right, and Central. An important work (to me at least) exploring the transformation of the female form through clothes and make-up. The dichotomy of the triptych(!) also confuses 'dressed up' with a mundane chore. An area I want to explore further, however it's important, as ever, to see that handling of paint is not subservient to subjective reality.

The triptych is quite heavy and fragile and requires a custom-built box for carriage. It is, in a sense, four paintings in one.

Materials used:

Spectrum oil paint, knives, sticks, paste medium.
