Tetrapak print on Ivory Fabriano
h: 30 w: 24 d: 1 (cms).
As I approach my fifties, I find myself drawing my self portrait more and more, perhaps as a way to preserve what I am, or to scrutinise what I am becoming, or even inject a little humour into the frequently alarming ageing process. In doing so I recently turned to to printing with recycled materials such as tetrapak - which breaks up and changes with each print - and found perspex, as an appropriate method to represent a deteriorating self. These prints are taken from observational drawings in front of the mirror; I never use photographs as I am also interested in presenting the picture of myself that I see, and are influenced by artists such as Hockney, Kollwitz and Rembrandt, all of whom I greatly admire and regularly drew themselves from life.
£275 (As exhibited.)
£225
(Unframed print.)
