entry description
I use document scanners for photographic self-portraiture. These often-distorted facial images with miniscule depths of field, affixed to aluminum or wood panels, are the foundations for sequential washes of micaceous or iridescent paints. These further destabilize, partially obscure and/or modify the images while concurrently creating multiple shallow physical spaces that relate to my ongoing practice as a sculptor. The images are honest and unflinching while the physical surfaces are richly nuanced, subtly colored and visually lush.back to gallery
