Portrait of Gio

Portrait · 2025
Gio sits cross-legged on rocks above the sea, a blue paisley scarf flying out from her neck over a grey knit vest and wide cream trousers.
Turned in profile with one arm raised behind her head, the long paisley scarf running down the front of a pale linen shirt.
Close in, both arms lifted behind her head, the scarf knotted at her throat and the light washing almost white behind her.
Toned monochrome on creased paper: Gio lies back with one arm over her head, the paisley scarf spread across her.
Sepia, printed on folded and foxed paper — a hand shading her brow, the scarf falling from one shoulder, looking straight out.
