Primal Squeeze

One of the first pieces in the series of primal women dealing with rawness. She is working it out, and at the ready, but steady in her mind. She has dying flowers permeating from her, in graphite, filling her back cavity, but falling outside the confines of her form. This is also one of the first pieces that solidified the idea of the “Squat” as a powerful stance.
