Amélie Finished


Still loving that line of the wrist. And overall much happier with it now :)

One in a series of fifteen self-portraits, each with a focus on a body part, each representing virtue, and there will be a sort of an accompanying essay type thing too. The project is an exploration of art history as well as the fringes of the art world: the things that art schools scoff at ("academic art") as well as popular culture. And my personality, since this is all about me :P

Amélie is bowels, its virtue is temperance (opposite of gluttony) and the essay is going to be about the overlooked, being invisible in a crowd, and some of the themes of the movie Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (which is where she gets her name). Art history-wise there is obviously Renoir, and some other artists/designers in the stylistic choices... (such as Joshua Lawyer, Kelly McKernan...)
