About the artwork
Under the scrutiny of a portrait a sitter becomes body-works. The hand, the feet, the face, the flesh… A physical inventory. A fetishistic investigation. A witnessing of a human machinery. Apprehension of parts. Overwhelming need to collect muscles, tendons, bones. The appropriation of a figure. The breaking down to pieces of an unveiled identity. The figure is mapped out onto canvas. The identity abducted into the new fabric skin. The canvas becomes the artist's true reality, the physical one discarded. The stolen identity is no longer a character, rather a whole of features and silhouettes in a veneer of androgynous aesthetics. Sex missing, the identity is endowed with an empty ambiguous box to replace it.Grammar Of The Theft Of An Identity
