Seen in a wall mirror at an angle of a 29-year-old woman standing in a small, sun-drenched artisan workshop, the mirror edge cutting the frame diagonally. She is grossed out, the nose wrinkled and the tongue half out, of Aboriginal Australian descent with rich chestnut-brown skin and a muscular build with broad arms. She has an oval face, warm brown eyes, bushy eyebrows, and a small line tattoo on the side of the neck. Her hair is thick coarse straight hair, short cropped, dyed cherry red, in an undercut with the top swept over. She wears a red string bikini. Pins are stuck through the fabric of the bikini top. A measuring tape is draped over a chair in the background. Fabric scissors rest on a pile of turquoise scrap cloth. The medium-format film camera is at waist level with gentle falloff of focus. The main figure is framed by an arch inside the picture. Light from a few candles creates a warm flicker on the nearest surfaces and darkness behind. Shot on medium format film with soft focus falloff, warm candlelight tones, and visible film grain.
