"I have always been captured by Miss Grace Jones. She has many looks and moods that I wanted to include into the photo shooting. The way she moves her body around and the way she projects herself in front of the camera. All these were assets that aren’t easy to copy, but then I wasn’t aiming to look like her clone. I wanted to artistically form myself into Grace Jones.

So I put all my feelings and instincts aside and slipped into Grace-full mood. The face was worked into a piece of sculpture, the total look was that of a muse. The goddess of love, music and art. Oh yes, let me not forget the artistic attitude which was the main ingredient in the metamorphoses of Grace.

To put Grace together was an event like the events that Grace creates when she performs.
