I'm very much grounded in my own body, so rather then capture my face i decided to capture my physical body. I think a lot of the ways that we recognize each other is based on impressions. I wanted to translate the idea of impression in a more tangible sense, by making a physical impression of my body using black acrylic on white paper and using my body as a stamp. Also my favorite piece of art is a series of modern paintings by Franz Kline, who wanted to capture his friend who was a dancer. He observed his friend dancing, and then recorded the gesture os his movement using black acrylic on a white background. They're awesome and took some inspiration from him.
