Note

Note hole in lower thigh of nude woman side of her body. In a 1998 video interview with Trish Branstein Viola states: I likes holes they bring the function of the hand back and I like the color black that the holes show, and they allow nature to interact with the piece if displayed outside (hornets can fly in).
