A tall canvas composed of swooping motion and contrasting diagonals. A streak of crimson down the left side and across the bottom frame an inset brighter zone, filled with lines, imagery and washy poolwater blue. This dreamy zone is cut with a large sharp shape, painted economically with shadows that make it pop into vivid three dimensions. The shape could be the top of a hammer, the turned leg of a wooden chair or the familiar stretched fabric of pulled-down panties observed from above. Through a hole in the shape, a small cartoonish face calls out, one closed eye, little nostrils and an open mouth with distinctly pink, parted lips. Whatever noise she's emitting travels through the painting, reverberating in hidden body parts - a hand gripping crotch, foot curling backwards. All the while a wall of drips giving the images a sense of sliding downwards as it rises up.
