Gift from Richard Cook.

In this painting Zia combines an exploration of interior and exterior spaces. The Leaning Tree in the painting was in Partou’s back garden and would have been prominent in her view looking out from the studio windows. She includes elements of the studio interior and at the heart of it all, she includes a painting of herself creating work.
