There is an untold story with this piece, but the simple truth is that it does not lie within my own mind. Perhaps each that sees it will bring their own. The women have received something that tells them of devastating news, or at least something essential and powerful affecting their young lives and beauty.
It took me a long, long time. Too long, I cannot give up on a piece once it is started, and it took many many hours and corrections before the form began to show through that which did not stand up to my own furious criticisms.
