Original artwork description:

A dynamic collection of line drawings to capture a model held up by her arms in a rope. Twirling around like a puppet-dancer. Captured at three points of movement in white, black and umber conte pastel. Softly held hard pastels moving with the model to create the image.

Hard conte pastels on a green sugar paper 30 x 42 cm (12 x 16").

On the reverse a very static pose in a foreshortened cubist style of the model sitting on the arm of a chair. With careful framing you could switch from one image to the other, but neither shows through to the other side.

Mounting/Mat Suggestion: An image is included of how the piece could look if float-mounted or put behind mountboard(s) [in the US known as mats] before framing.

It will either be rolled for delivery (glassine inside to protect the drawing) or wrapped in glassine and sandwiched in window cardboard (so the pastel is not smudged) depending on where it is being sent to.
