Note du spécialiste

'This ‘posture’ series of a veiled female nudes passing through eccentric, soundless dance poses – a frieze of Martha Graham-like moves – was published as an accordion-style book that unfolds with an image on each page. Its peculiar beauty belies its ‘how to’ origins; it is a graceful, incomprehensible semaphore.' – W.M. Hunt
