Edward captures Kathryn in a quiet moment on the rocks at Freshwater Beach. Her gentle pose, with its slight tilt echoes the mood of Picasso’s Old Guitarist. Kathryn speaks about how life modelling has helped her feel more at ease in her body, less self critical, and more aware of shape and form. Edward responds with loose brushstrokes and soft palette knife marks, letting the painting sit between her reflections on embodiment and his own sensitivity to gesture and emotion.
