| In the
last two years I have focused on various considerations of the nature of
portraiture. The portrait became a distilled form of the figure, which
in turn became more generalized as a form in and of itself.
As the portrait transformed into a vehicle of the body, personal identity dissolved as a sense of physical being came to play. Physical quality takes place of individualization and identity is forsaken for organization of a larger structure. Multiplication of the image becomes a substitute for a narrative format. These portraits are dislocated from personal identities and relate more directly to a search for time and place. They ultimately reflect on the isolation of the soul in society. |
