Perspective No.1 Painting by Hazel Miller

Painting: Oil, Acrylic on Canvas.

This piece came out of studying my field of vision and my body in space. It is an experiment in first person point-of-view in a female body, urging the viewer to experience one female perspective. This work also plays with paint handling as a way to create atmospheric perspective; the background is much crisper and more textured than the looser, less detailed foreground. The ambiguity of the background painting/mirror/window alludes to art history, the gaze, subjective truth and the framing of vision.
