Photographs, gouache, ink, text, Letraset on card
Six panels each 40 x 64cm, + clipboard and response sheets

The work presents the viewer with a series of questions that lead you to consider the way they perceive the actions of the woman. This method of interaction with the work's audience was further formalised though a response sheet that hung next to the work and that viewers used to set down their reactions to the questions. This method lead participants through a series of questions that would develop from the more descriptive to more abstract thinking.
