Frank,
I like the second thread departing from your characteristic clamor series. Bianca, here at least, expresses ideas of being solitary and even self reflection. I'll tackle the first picture of Bianca right now. She's lit with a broad light source from her upper right and it seems like a second light to her left arm, but that could be reflected of a small card on here left. The lack of light to her eyes provides an air of privacy too her, as if she is in thought. However, it's clear that this is a pose. There is no pretense at this being real.
There's no sensual aggression. The first pose with here arms crossed is almost a "trans-configeration" of a crucifix martyr to a Japanese Geisha. I do not recall other work by Bianca or who's style this is and whether or not this form in which she is discovered is original or not. I do enjoy the experience of looking at t triangular shapes. It's the physical form which is the most interesting and captures our attention and in which the strength of the image lies. In addition to the simple physical esthetic, there's also s sense that she is the infant she's comforting.
Thanks for sharing this interesting series.
