About this work

This close-up shows a person’s face and neck wrapped in what looks like gauze or bandages. The fabric is loose, with some parts pulled tight around the chin and jaw. The background is a mix of pale skin tones and faint, sketchy lines that look like quick pencil marks. The gauze isn’t smooth—it’s crumpled and uneven, with some areas almost see-through. The artist added tiny blue dots scattered across the face, like freckles or marks. Next, check out Kiki Smith to see how she plays with texture in her work.
