- Description:
- Self-portrait of Dater as the Leopard Woman in a skin tight leopard print bodysuit, unzipped to the waist. She's wearing a short blonde wig and a heavy radial necklace, she has light skin and is looking toward the camera with a blank but assertive expression. She's posed with her hands on her hips, right hip forward, against a shiny purple fabric backdrop and between black curtains. The opening of the jumpsuit, her bent elbows, and the drape of the curtains are all echoing the same diamond shape. To her right at hip height is a black covered plinth with a skinned sheep's head on it, staring away from her.
- Notes:
- Matted silver dye bleach print.
