This drawing is one of several self-portraits I made during lockdown, most of which have been drypoints on paper. This rapid drawing on unstretched canvas represents my need to work in a more visceral and direct way. It was intended originally to be the basis for a painting, but its directness, and the fact that the figure is life size somehow equating to my presence at the moment of making, made me decide to keep it.
