Artist's Comments

trying to make the most of a not particularly enjoyable event...

apparently leg surgery presents great photo ops. and that's even before the bandages come off ;) this is inspired to some subconscious degree by aimee mullins, the double-amputee model/actress who appears in matthew barney's cremaster cycle movies.

very nice :) who took the photo or was it something of a self portrait?
:iconrupa:
it was a very awkward self-portrait. moving around whilst bandaged and wearing heels to get into position before the shutter went off was quite a challenge. but i'm glad you like the results :)

What happened to your leg? Surgery? WTF?

You have to let me paint a picture of you once you get your bandages off, ESPECIALLY if it leaves scars.

On another note, this is a really beautiful portrait. The simplicity, the way the purple is reflected in your hair and on the folds of the wrapped leg, the cropping of the figure. Really nice.

I'm trying to figure out if I like your other leg where it is or if i'd be better stuck out in a horizontal position? That may or may not destroy the mood?? But i sort of find your other foot distracting from the unusualness of the wrapped leg and foot. May just be a personal preference. Either way, again... wonderful image. You make for a beautiful model.
I look forward to seeing more of these. Maybe if you combine a beautiful image like this with the unusal/surreal nature of the one photo you did with the flower in your mouth??
