DescriptionLike much of her work this early drawing explores ideas about sexuality and identity. The strange male form seems to echo some of Bacon’s monstrous figures. It towers aggressively above a prone female figure. The drawing was exhibited as part of a group exhibition ‘Drawings’ in the Hendricks Gallery in 1985.It was formerly part of the businessman Vincent Ferguson’s renowned collection of Irish art.Provenance1985 Hendriks Gallery, Dublin (label on verso); Collection of Vincent Ferguson; By Descent; Purchased, 2021 Exhibition HistoryHendricks Gallery, Dublin, ‘Drawings’, 1985.
