This one sprang out of a kind of challenge. Matt Pooley was at the Alex and did one of his strange vegetable people on a piece of fabric. He suggested we could all add something and make it into a communal piece of work. I felt his character looked a bit uncomfortable so I thought I'd add something for him to be uncomfortable about. Hence this rather sensuous woman. To make him blush.
She's a bit stolen from Nolde's Mann und junges Mädchen. I felt she needed that really graphic woodcut look. I hand coloured the rose for the postcard versions. Less bother than making another block.
Bethany said she looked like Sophia Loren. Hence the name.
