/ Dead to Me /

 

Dead to Me is a collection of works brought together from three series (Shadow of my Former Self, Vague Impressions, Cast-Offs/Solemn Alchemy) exploring the role physical clothing plays in shaping our image and what it means to the individual when these items are rejected and left behind— effectively marking the death of the former self. There is both a reference to the being and object in flux, focusing on the ephemeral and the transformative. Aspects critical to both traditional portraiture and still life painting.
