Part of the conceptual premise of transforming fleeting memories captured by photographic snapshots, into unique work of art executed with a time and labor intensive traditional technique, Grassie painted this motif once with the figure and once without. 

 

It is one of the few instances in which the artist has significantly altered his source image.
