This exhibition consists of work rendered in colour pencil in their original forms, and shown in Giclee form as limited edition, hand embossed prints on acid free 300gms rag art paper. The Dancer, in her languid movement, performs her art, expressing deep and poignant emotions. It is not just the physical immediate feelings expressed in her motion but also the metaphysical emotions of joy, and pain transcended from former days and past battles. It embodies her ego and ultra ego unified in this moment of spirit.
