    The artist Lisa Brice foregrounds the female gaze in her work, reclaiming the nude from familiar representations in western art where they have been painted mostly by men as models, muses and objects of desire. In her works her female subjects are engaged in their own activities, coming across as self-contained individuals driven by their own needs and desires. This print shows the female figure in cobalt blue, a media that Brice has worked with extensively. She draws her references for cobalt from multiple sources and with the idea of not allowing particular skin tones to determine a preconditioned reading of her subject along ethnic lines.
