“A colour portrait of downhill mountain biker, Missy Giove. Giove has a Mediterranean complexion, with dark brown curly, perhaps slightly dreadlocked asymmetrical hair that reaches near her shoulders on the left, and is close shaved on the right. A small section of the close-shorn hair is bleached a brassy blonde colour. She wears a black headband across her forehead and a red and black racing jersey with Volvo and other logos on it. Giove wears stainless steel body jewelry in her earlobes and right nostril, and a collection of heavy ball chain necklaces around her neck. Notably, she also wears the dead and desiccated body of a piranha as a pendant around her neck on a tan cord. She smiles widely, her eyes squinting slightly in the sun. The background is out of focus.” -Blair Fornwald
