Woman in gown11 x 14" Digital Print
This piece was a fun opportunity to work with a floral background, which was a nice complement to the simplicity of this figure in bolder lines.
She's wearing a below-elbow (transradial) myoelectric prosthesis. There's more variety now in the aesthetic finishing of these prostheses, and I hinted at color coordination with her dress. There are many different suspension methods for this type of arm prosthesis. In this case, the 'wings' of this socket cradle the epicondyles, which are the bony prominences at the elbow's sides. The front and the back of the elbow joint are exposed to allow for a full range of motion. |
