I've always loved the art of self portraiture. It can provide an opportunity to paint a human figure or be the means to experiment with ideas. I've occasionally used myself as the model in a painting but rarely as a straight forward image. By this I mean that my face or body is presented in an indirect way to express something other than what I look like. This 'something other' can be explained as who are, we? or what are we made of? Most of the images can be located in reality but sometimes a surrealist element does enter the work.
