Work in Progress: Self Portrait


This project has changed since my last posting... I am currently layering renditions of my face from birth to present.... from old photographs. After each minimal line drawing I cover the marks with translucent white and draw then next on top. There will be as many as 20 different years represented in the final product. I am thinking about how my current self is the layered self of years of selfs as I paint these layers and paint on top of earlier layers.

Oil on Canvas, 3 feet by 4 feet.
