Medium format photo, high contrast. Situated in a dusty, ornate Victorian library filled with leather-bound books, a 45-year-old woman with a silver pixie cut stands on a rolling wooden ladder. She is dressed in a stark, glossy white latex victorian-style blouse with high-necked ruffles and a floor-length black latex skirt that cascades down the ladder steps in heavy, fluid folds. The natural light streaming through a high arched window strikes the latex, creating blinding white specular reflections that contrast sharply with the matte, dark wood of the bookshelves. She is reaching for a book on a high shelf, her body elongated, causing the latex of the blouse to pull taut across her torso, revealing the lack of surface texture in the material. Dust motes dance in the shaft of light, and her gaze is fixed upward toward the book spine, her mouth set in a line of concentration.
