ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This work is part of a series of paintings and drawings I created for a recent exhibition called “losing face” a termed coined by sociologist Erving Goffman that essentially relates to a slip of character of an actor in a theatre. I became interested in Goffman’s theory that we in any social interaction we wear different “masks” that conform to accepted norms of any situation. I think this is interesting when you think about how we try and project an ideal self on social media and the inherent anxiety in trying to maintain that projected ideal for the consumption of a mass audience. This piece is a self-portrait that is part of a set of three similar painted images I took of myself with my cellphone.
