Paint box, photographs, marble sand, camera
Collection of Surrey Art Gallery

Appropriated from a magazine advertisement, the photograph of a ‘woman artist’ is mounted on glass. Marble sand fills the box of a portable easel in which a view camera is set. Transfer lettering on glass contrasts the definition of ‘model’ as a noun and as a verb.
