About this piece:
I was looking through old photographs of Swedish farmers and I came across one of an old woman in a field. The landscape was hilly and from the vantage point of the camera, it made her look like she started from the knees up. I played around with this image for a while, making different sketches of her. I kept leaving the legs out of these drawings and eventually hung her from wires, rendering her permanently immobile.
