Woman (Queen) 1983

Archetype, authority, and the outward gaze

A counterpoint to the mirror works, Woman (Queen) introduces a commanding figure who faces outward, even as her eyes are cropped by the composition. Where the mirrored figures turn inward, she projects an authoritative presence. She is not reflected; rather, she becomes a figure through whom the viewer is addressed. Her posture and position introduce an archetypal dimension to the collection, grounding its psychological explorations in a powerful symbolic presence.
