painting
Painting on canvas, 'Carry Leg (Lovers)', showing a couple sitting together with their legs interlaced, a sign of courtship. The flower coming from the left hand figure's headdress represents the sun, and the flowers growing from the feet of the woman represent the man's spear (information from artist to Rebecca Hossack). Laminated with low-reflect glass.
