Black and White Self Portrait

More from Advanced Painting I.

A different sort of self portrait, a little more vulnerable. This was an appreciation of the interplay of light and shadows on the human form; a sort of "bodyscape", if you will, even thought that name is cliché.

This was also a performance piece, because I put the pieces up one at a time, rotating them to emphasize the abstract quality they posses. When I finally had the smaller pieces in their right places, the last piece to go up was the largest one on the left, which is the "key" image to let everyone finally know that it is a human form and a portrait.



Quite pleased with these. I'd like to do more, or different people... close friends, perhaps.
