When in Seattle I showed Byron these photos and he told me that it looked like she’d been beaten about the legs. I never realized the stylized flesh could be seen that way. I assure you that this is not meant to depict any sort of abuse.
I also struggled with how to represent carpeting in paint…I don’t think I won that battle, but life must go on. There is something very strange about how the fingers on her right hand look as well…
