This is a piece that I completed a few years ago. Normally I don't like using old work for Illustration Friday, as I think part of the challenge is illustrating the topic at that moment and working under the time constraints. However, when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do for this week's theme... all I could do was think about this piece and how if I did anything new it would simply be trying to recreate the original. The piece is made up of several different pieces of paintings that I had done over the past five years. The materials have a physical memory. I had sewn them together and then loosely painted a self-portrait over it. The body of work that this came out of dealt a lot with self-reflection and remembering who I was and the changes that happen.
