Artist, American, born 1953

The image shows a person from the side, with their upper body exposed, revealing tattoos on their back. The person is standing in an interior space, facing slightly away from the camera. They have medium-length hair that falls straight and parts down the middle. The person's hair covers their face, so facial features are not visible from this angle. They are wearing striped, loose-fitting shorts and have a piece of fabric draped over their shoulders and arms. In the background, the room appears lived-in, with clothing and items scattered on the floor. There is a dimly lit area that might be a closet with hangers visible and other articles of clothing inside. The room's walls are plain, and there is a window covered with material or a curtain on the left side of the image.
