Additional Information

Sandys’ frolicking female is divided in half by the two panels of this lithograph. The effect is like that of a magician’s assistant sawn in half, yet it is clear who dominates the power balance in this tongue in cheek scene of relaxed sexual freedom. Sandys, who identifies strongly with the feminist movement, said ‘It is natural that I use the female form to express many of my ideas, but I do not shy away from any of the driving forces in my life including the man/woman relationship, motherhood, sensuality, sexuality, satire and humour, as well as suffering and disappointment.’
