Dysphagia

Dysphagia No.73, Oil on Harfboard

Break­ing the Connection

Sep­a­rat­ing of the viewer from the sub­ject, cre­at­ing a wall jux­ta­pos­ing the nat­ural flow of the body with the cold cal­cu­la­tion of the grid.

Oil on Hard­board The sec­ond layer of a Dys­pha­gia paint­ing, this por­trait of Julie no longer exists in this form. I sold the paint­ing before I had the oppor­tu­nity to pho­to­graph the final. It’s a thirty minute sketch but it cap­tures her essence. I do still have the strips of tape.

Painted Tape on Masonite Another in the rune series of painted tapes on ges­soed masonite, Man­naz fea­tures two por­traits of Julie, one of Quin, and parts of other mod­els. I really love the break­ing of form and the rhythm of these pieces. The two sep­a­rate por­traits of Julie, though not the …
