ink on paper
I find the self to be an abstract concept, and thus to properly reflect my approach to the self, I have abandoned traditional portraiture for a more contemporary composition. I have offered only simplified forms and the back of my head to the viewer, in an attempt to distance the notion of self from one physical appearance. Small figures amongst the detail of the hair are ephemeral manifestations of myself. They are fluid, interlocking miniatures, offering insight into my personality, behaviour and humour. I have furthered the concept of reflection in the work by creating physical symmetry within the composition.
