| Head of a Woman with her Hair Loose by Megan Summers The hair runs from her head and beyond the perimeters of this moment, what remains lightened by the sun and cradling her pale neck, its long, vertical shades of skin connecting themselves to her surrendered face, where we wantonly fix our gaze. She seems to question herself, glancing through a window, perhaps, or tracing the design of a vase with her eyes. She is the only event: painted loosely, barely unified but still alive, focused on what we can only hope to know or comprehend, something signaling her complete resignation from the composition. |
