Blood Series 2001 Blood legs and Blood Lap mimic a traditional portraiture set in a non-traditional manner. The portraits are of a blonde and a brunette who wear identical gray outfits. Their facial Expressions are stoic and deadpan and the subjects are covered in blood. The photographs mimic typical Hollywood movie characters, glamorizing violence with the use of portraiture.

Is it a case of murder, menstruation or simply a violent exercise in art history?
