Now showing at the Pulse Miami/NYC Contemporary Art Fair is this work by artist Sabine Dehnel. Dehnel highlights the transformation of a girl into a woman by featuring paintings of the back of a girl's legs. The stance is an awkward one, even though the overall effect is pretty.
Something that might be hindering this particular girl's transformation from girl into woman is her choice of fashion. Sabine Dehnel's simple skirts are great, but what's up with the mixed hand puppet frock?
