Subject: pictures from "This Woman's Work" boxed set.
Last week, someone asked about the pictures in the "This Woman's Work" boxed set. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back on this, but here they are: (By the way, this is from the CD set; I assume the LP set has the same [but bigger *sigh*] pictures.) p. 1: Kate has white makeup all over her face and *lots* of dark eyeshadow. She's wearing a black sleeveless dress with the strap over the right shoulder twisted. The picture only shows from the chest up. This may have been from a video, but I'm not sure which one. p. 2: This is a picture from The Kick Inside. Kate's wearing blue jeans and red red stockings and sitting in a small wooden box. p. 3: This one's strange. Kate's got her hair pulled back and lying down with a piece of sheer brown material covering her entirely. The material ripples and seems to "swirl" about her. p. 4: I've seen this one before, but I can't remember where. Kate's facing 1/4 to her right, with a beautiful purple and gold scarf around her neck and matching make-up. The expression on her face is incredible, a kind of somber longing. It's a sad picture but really well done. p. 5: This is a picture from Babooshka. Kate's in black tights with a veil over her face and she's leaning against an upright bass violin. p. 6: This is a picture from Cloudbusting. Kate's got her hair cropped short and is standing against the weather machine. p. 7: A shoulders-up photo (bare shoulders, though) -- Kate's wearing this 40's-ish black hat with a thin-mesh veil and sequins all over it and feathers. The hat is pulled over her right eye. p. 8: I'd never seen this picture before, but if I had to guess it might be from "There Goes a Tenner". It's a very dark picture. Kate has a trenchcoat draped over her right shoulder. Her left arm is bare and is reaching across as if to conceal a gun under the trenchcoat. p. 9: If you've seen the "Passing Through Air" bootleg, it's the same picture on the cover of that. Kate's standing about 1/3-left, but facing forwards. She's wearing a black sleeveless shirt (again), a chain around her neck, and a black pillbox hat with gold leafing on it and a tassle. This is against a yellowish background that looks like very out-of-focus leaves or something similar. p. 10: Kate has really long hair in this photo. Her left hand is on top of her head, and her right hand is on the side of her head. She's pouting a little. Behind her is a translucent window; outside are trees. It's daylight, but it may well be raining outside. p. 11: Kate's outside sitting on a rocky perch, holding a set of bagpipes. (I think they're bagpipes. The wind sack in under her left elbows.) The wind has blown her hair around. p. 12: Two pictures: (top) This is from Experiment IV. It's Kate as the "nymph"/"angel", just before everything turns ugly. (bottom) Okay, maybe _this_ one's from "There Goes a Tenner." Kate's wearing a leather jacket, and she's flanked by two guys also dressed in black. Her hair's a little greasy, she's wearing black eye-liner and rouge, and her mouth is open like an "O", but defiant-looking. p. 13: Two pictures: (left) This is from The Big Sky. Near the end. Kate's looking up and all these pilots and astronauts are looking up with her. (right) Kate's wearing a furry-lined bomber jacket, and she's sitting on a cot (?) singing into a microphone. Laying on the cot is an olive-skinned guy, looking off. There are several red wires in the right side of the photo. OK, I'm stumped. p. 14: Kate's standing with one foot on a stool. She's wearing leather boots, and holding a hat in her right hand. She's wearing almost no makeup, and while that's a refreshing change, she looks kind of washed out under the camera lights. p. 15: This is from Running Up That Hill. She's dancing with a guy; they're both dressed in grey. They're facing away from us, with arms outstretched. They're also quite some distance away from the camera. p. 16: Kate's sitting in a Chippendale-ish chair, in a bright red robe. Her left elbow is on the arm rest, and her chin is in her left hand. p. 17: Kate's standing against a yellow brick wall, with her hands clasped against her heart. She's wearing a black shoulderless dress, and sunlight is shining in from the right, casting a long shadow on the left side of the photo. p. 18: Kate's dressed in dark grey velveteen, and is kneeling. The floor and the wall are both speckled grey, and blend so well that I can't tell where the corner is. p. 19: This is from The Kick Inside. Kate's wearing that low-cut pink leotard. Not one of my favorite photos. p. 20: This is a full color print of the cover from The Dreaming. p. 21: Kate's standing with her arms out from her side in an elegant white gown, lit from behind, so you can see through the sleeves. p. 22: Kate has a red bow in her hair and is wearing a kimono. She's kneeling as if in meditation against the same grey background in the picture on p. 18. She's wearing little makeup again, but this photo looks better. p. 23: Kate's bending over in a field. It's dusk, and the sky is a great shade of blue. Kate's wearing a black and goldenrod dress and a green shawl over her head. This is one of the best-colored photos in the book. p. 24: Three pictures of Kate superimposed. They're at 1/2-right, front, 1/2-left. In the 1/2 right image, she's looking up, and holding her arms up, as if receiving something from the sky. In the 1/2 left image, she's handing it downwards towards something else. _Very_ ethereal looking. I hope this is a start towards what you wanted. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but dammit, these are pictures of *KATE*, and ten thousand words still wouldn't do them justice. __Heath
