Halfway: A self-portrait in three acts: Expanding the definition of a self-portrait
«In my study I used my art practice as the site of my inquiry (Artistic Research), conducting a reflective study that focused on trying to understand how identity development and an increased sense of self-awareness can be manifested during the creative process. My aim was to explore the potential of a non-representational self-portraiture in three different mediums; photography, conceptual art and sculpture.”
