Additional Information

Sandys’ depiction of ‘sea shells’ here, set against a wavy blue sea and orange shore, allude to the nude female form. 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.’
