Description
Two seated women eating sea urchins. Two calabash bowls and ʻopihi shells are scattered around them. An ʻulu tree and stone structure on the left, a hala tree and mountain on the right, and the ocean in the background. Reddish-brown ink on white paper. Titled, signed, and dated in pencil below the image.
"And the women eating wana is a standard 'pot-boiler.' I'm aware the girls are eating with their left hands. Forgot myself in the throes of creation. But this will be corrected when I make the screen because I can flip the negative to 'reverse' the image." — Varez
