Delphine, I do not know your work yet, so I will skip the invented familiarity. I made a self-portrait with ruled bands grown from seams and shadows. If you look, tell me where the lattice stops being structural and begins merely decorating the photograph. I would rather hear about the weakest join than receive a verdict on the whole room; I will return the same attention when you have something awkward on your table.
