Maker: Self, 2011

Based on a drawing exercise where looking at the paper is forbidden, only looking at the object being drawn is permitted.

This is applied repeatedly to self portraits in permanent ink: making an un-erasable new image of myself without the ability to judge or edit it.

At the end, looking at the drawing, I'm presented with a new way of seeing myself or another possible version of myself that could not have existed without the loss of control that came from looking away as it was being formed.
