The Space Between - SLIP, 2016Photogrpahic print and paint180 x 120 cm
70 7/8 x 47 1/4 in£ 12,000.00My work focuses on portraiture, but with the use of the transformative properties of paint and photography this genre is skewed and manipulated. I photograph the act of painting on to my skin and then paint on top of the printed photographs, creating a layering of image of paint and painted image, blurring the boundaries between the two. My ‘self’ is lost, buried beneath the paint, creating a sense of escapism and abstraction within the pieces. I become an object, a painting not necessarily of myself. In this way the traditional notion of portraiture is questioned.Self Portrait Prize 2023
