ARTWORK (Drawing) self portrait




Charcoal on paper, erasure

I really enjoyed working on this artwork , it is a continuation of the errasure technnique from last weeks greek bronze sculpture . The photo i based this self portrait on was before i had glasses , and i left my lazy eye in this image. The paper has also been "stressed" , in this case crosshatched with a screw driver and u can clearly see these marks on the left hand side of the face ( the photo doesnt do the image justice , it has a very eery look to it ) We were asked to remove something from the image , and i chose to remove the top of my head exposing my brain. I did this litterally at first but realised that it was just repulsive . I have been spending so many years concealing my mind and trying to "fit in" up until now , even at such a young age i hated my unique mind , one that enables me to think logically and creatively , I am perhaps beginning to accept who i truly am.
