Self-Portrait - Memento Mori
2019
Measurements:
Birch wood, Acrylic paint, Alcohol inks
This is the face I see in the mirror every day, and yet it’s one of the hardest faces for me to get right. There’s a surreal quality to working on a likeness of yourself, whether a face or a part of a body.
One of my crazy ideas is to get a 3-D scan of my own skull in order to carve it.
This self-portrait was carved from a fresh birch log using chisels and hand tools.
