Transgressing The Page / Bhubesi Women (II) - from Cheryl Penn

Transgress

1. To go beyond or over (a limit or boundary); exceed or overstep

2. To act in violation of (the law, for example)

As far as the page is concerned, I think that Cheryl is transgressing it with every piece of art she is sending out. Guilty as charged. Her books never look like any other books that ever…
