I was reminded of her after our night out when I did my “mature age pottery student” look.
I have the book by Gianni somewhere but can’t find it among the piles for the life of me.
What I remember most was that he said she always wore layers and layers of clothing, including leggings and petticoats and scarves, and she never took them off, not even when they made love. So he didn’t ever see her naked.
I’m not so crazy on her art but check out her wiki and her studio online…
