Congrats bestie, #karondavis, on your piece at the #StudioMuseuminHarlem. #dancers #BlackArt

A white plaster sculpture of a woman standing tall with one arm straight up in the air and one to her side, one leg is down - possibly standing on her toes, and the other is in the air with her toes pointed; her floor-length dress draped from her lifted ankle in a semi-circle of fabric.

A black and white photograph showing the inspiration for the sculpture; a dancer, standing in the same pose in a beautiful silken dress.

The same sculpture but on a stand at the Whitney, with shadows behind from the lighting.

I'd love to see this gorgeous sculpture in person. I want to see the glass eyes!
