The following is extracted from “About” – I use the term Theatre of Selfs because my practice is a dialogue with my collaborators, which is about aspects of them, but which I am using to explore or confront aspects of myself.
In this work, I am stepping in front of the curtain, and confronting myself through a series of drawings, often incidental, sometimes composed. We live in a world saturated with photographic self-portraits, where few take as long to execute, and none involve such clinical self-scrutiny and invoke self-reflection as a self-drawing.
Not coincidentally it occurs at a phase in life where we tend to ask questions of ourselves, about who we are and where we are.
The background painting is of grandparents, painted just after grandmother died in 1977.
