The Hero With A Thousand Faces

"A Hero With A Thousand Faces" is a series based on Joseph Campbell's theory of the archetypical hero found in world mythologies. My plan is to make as many paintings as I possibly can based on the same reference photo. Through the highly unpredictable treatment of paint, each seemingly anonymous "head" is rendered with a visage completely unique from the other. I think it is too soon to tell what exactly i'm trying to achieve with the series, but suffice it to say that what drives me has not yet led me astray. The best I can do is hope to continue along this trajectory.
