Profile Picture: Hand-stitched using a 1949 print of La Hollandaise (in some books titled La Belle Hollandaise) by Pablo Picasso, 1905. I can’t find her actual name recorded anywhere. The hat was cut from an image of Zadie Smith (Guardian 18.1.18) by Murdo Macleod. The bubblegum was cut from Time Out London, photograph by Holly Andres. The earrings were cut from an image of Frida Kahlo (by Nickolas Murray) in the London Evening Standard.
