- Artwork description
- Femme panier features a headless figure dressed in a tacky vintage shirt, leaning slightly forward in a defensive position, arms wide open, brandishing a green-coloured, pick-like object in its delicate, white ceramic hand. The crotch of her ill-fitting fishnet stockings slides down her childlike mannequin legs. Together, the basket, shirt, stockings and mannequin parts that compose the work trigger a host of contradictory associations, namely the incongruous relationship between the figure’s aggressive pose and its obvious vulnerability.
