No. 326   PREPARATION FOR THE BIG NIGHT
36 " W x 24 " H,  90 cm W x 60 cm H
Material   Acrylic on Wood

Three young ladies are shown getting ready for what appears to be a big social occasion.  The central character concentrates on applying her eye-liner, while another waits patiently for her turn before the ornately framed mirror.  

Reflected in the mirror we see another young lady who is taking a shower.  Her red and gold towel is draped over the shower stall.

Were we, the viewers, to be present in the room, we would also be looking into the mirror and appearing in its reflection.  Yet no one else is to be seen.

It is as if we are fly-on-the-wall witnesses to these ritualistic events.
