Like a dog with a bone my subject has remained pretty much the same for 40 years: I bury the same bone in the back yard, dig it up again and remain totally engaged. Women in interior Space - the space of the mind, the home and the community is where most of my characters live. I picked six images that refer to isolation and span almost five decades. All of these pictures are deeply connected to how I feel now.
