acrylic on canvas, 1998. Approx 50x70cms.

The title and the painting allude to the pressures on many women to look and be a certain way. We often hide our true selves beneath an assumed carapace: a protection, a more acceptable disguise perhaps, in spite of the fact that we are actually lovely and loveable as ourselves.

The painting speaks for itself: Circling around the central nude of a
seated, long-haired woman with bowed head are; the parted triangles of the
Jewish Star of David; battered crosses of Christianity; sullied Islamic
crescents; spheres of Gaia; silken textures of Eastern religions; an
open-jawed mythic fish; phallic symbols; sperm and ovum; symbols of the
masculine and feminine; symbol of homosexuality; profiles of gravid women;
crosses and ticks of judgments; colours and textures of earth, sea and
sky...
