Lucinda Bunnen’s ability to wrest the extraordinary from the ordinary is evident in this picture of a woman caught in a moment of extreme abandon, with her head and arms thrown back, a fishnet veil covering her face. Normally associated with delicacy and feminine decorum, the veil here appears more like an otherworldly ectoplasm threatening to suck the woman up into the inky black night.
