THOMAS II, watercolor on paper, detail
My work is about maintaining authenticity and accuracy to my subject. Though the image presents a feeling of intimacy with the subject, I try to remain discreet and keep the viewer at a respectful distance; protecting the subject’s full identity. Showing a portion of the subject in a grand way gives the viewer insight into something that would normally be inaccessible – the fascinating details we seldom get close enough to see in person. The only clue of the identity of the individual is revealed through my titles, which are always the name by which I was introduced to the person. My work examines how we as viewers still seek recognition of the subject even when given only a limited view of the person’s appearance and identity.
