Sweeping chalk lines capture the raw energy of two female figures in the charged, erotic scene of The Dance. A palpable, visceral tension emerges as the negotiation for power between female desire and resistance takes place. With fierce, primal intent, the initiator extends her long arms, reaching for the nipples that tower over her, whilst her tongue extends towards the exposed, protruding labia. Only the recipient’s wide, squat-like stance suggests the dynamic of a restrained reciprocity, with no other signs of pleasure.
