The artwork consists of the outline of a female torso: bold lines, felt tip on paper.

Within the outline, as if typed on an old typewriter, are a number of lines of free verse, celebrating the mystery and homoerotic frisson of male comradeship.

At the bottom of the outline, the eye is drawn to the true mystery of the piece: the artist has used his own signature to represent the woman's pubic hair.

The signature-as-pubes motif confronts us with multiple layers of meaning.

Is the artist taking ownership of the female form? Or taking credit for its beauty? Is he autographing it, as a famous cricketer might autograph a couple of balls and a helmet?

How are we to interpret his other works in light of this? Are we to see his signature as representing a lady garden everywhere it appears?
