Photograph at chest height, square on to a beautiful woman with deep brown skin and a high stacked afro standing dead centre. The ground is a saturated tangerine seamless lit hard from behind her so it blooms pale directly behind her head and shoulders and deepens to full strength in the corners. Her garment is unlit and black to the eye, one flat cut shape with a razor-crisp edge against the ground — a heavy frayed fringe hem swinging out from a narrow bodice. One small hard frontal source reaches only her collarbone, her shoulder caps and the tops of her cheeks, everything beyond falling to unlit black, the falloff hard. Wet specular sheen on the collarbone, the makeup hue taken from the ground so face and ground are one family. A petrol blue tone flooding both lids up to the brow bone, the brows softened to a trace is the one colour note. Her hair is tall and coarse above the crown, spiking into the ground. Jade satin bodice. Hands on her hips so the sleeves read as two matched volumes. Imperious and squared up, chin level, eyes straight down the lens, mouth closed.
