Original artwork description:

This is another of my ballet series, in which I'm playing with texture, movement and shape. I wanted to study a pair of ballet shoes, partly to help me with other larger works, and partly out of fascination. Off the feet, inactive, they look a little battered and strange. They suddenly look like tools, things which require the dancer to be rendered beautiful. I really enjoyed painting the ribbon, the look material around the ankle opening and the stiff shape of the reinforced toe area.

They are framed in solid custom made framed, 55 ml wide painted dark blue gray with a clip on the back to hang.
