Embodiment Series

This 2022 series arose from the self portrait painting practice that taught me to paint from observation, which evolved into an interest in depicting the embodied first-person dimension of the perceptual experience of painting; and from a period of time during which I was without a studio space due to construction in my home, and worked instead from the coffee table. Constrained in space and conscious of the body as the point from which vision emanates, I painted the view of and immediately around my body and my painting surface.
