The image represents that of a woman, looking over her shoulder. I like to depict my women as icons, everyday figures imagined as a deity. Marred by melancholy. I want to work with the materials that I use and leave expressive marks, for it to breathe and create it's own language. As an artist, you can choose to mannipulate your materials, refine or leave them raw. Your hand and it's tremors also affect the finished image. Juxtaposing both, in this age of increased image manipulation, digital and realism, turning to the source, to the way portraits were made in modern times to render reality, or the psyche of subject and artist is what informs the work.
