The Original Corset Girl -- oil pencil drawing by Candi


paper doll oil pencil drawing by Candi


I love the metaphor (visual and intellectual) of a woman in a corset. I've ended up with a series of corset girl paintings and drawings over the years and the one above is the first.  She was inspired by a Victorian paper doll set my good grandma gave me when I was about 12. I like her garters the best. And that one red leg. And her blue brain which she uses to know what people really see when they look at her. A woman in a corset.
