‘Breathe’

Continuing research and development in preparation for intervention workshops alongside Miffy Ryan with Taiwanese Art Interns in a wood near Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK. Again referencing Lygia Clark’s ‘Nostalgia do Corpo’ (Nostalgia of the Body). The nature of portraiture too rises behind my eyes. How do we want to be seen? To see ourselves? Combining with found objects, chosen objects, given objects we discover new elements of self in the doing perhaps more than in the finished image… and then.

This is a self portrait with medium freezer bag and it was made on July 12th 2022 between 9.30 and 10.00 am.
