Original artwork description:
“Me, Myself, and I” is a non-traditional self-portrait. Painted with acrylic, the image shows the characterization of death as it paints the artist. A stark shadow is cast onto the wall as a pool of crows. The painting is self-referential with my face bubbling out of a stylized character.
This piece was originally made for "INWARD" a group exhibition at the Holland Project Gallery in December 2016. The following statement was included:
“I heard an old person say to a young person recently that as you age
your interests narrow. It seems to me that’s true. I simply don’t have time
anymore for so many of the things I once loved, things I thought were
an important part of who I was. My interests have grown thin, but I
guess that’s simply the progression of time and what it takes for me to
really dedicate myself to something - at least until eventually everything
disappears and I’m nothing more than a memory and a creepy face on a
painting.”
Materials used:
acrylic paint, canvas
