6014, More than just a face, Laura Griffith
HIGHLY COMMENDED
JUDGES’ COMMENTS:
An intimate moment captured by the artist, what is the artist saying? A well-executed piece with an effective use of light and dark to convey a sense of unease.
ARTWORK ID: 6014
CATEGORY: Portraits (a model release form from the subject must be supplied)
ARTIST STATEMENT:
There is an internal conflict that exists within me when exploring self portraiture. On the one hand it's an easy choice, there's no one else to deal with, and I'm easily accessible at any given time. But then there's the reality of being tasked with intently looking at yourself. The uncomfortable feelings of ego juxtaposing the comfort of the familiar. On this day, i sat on the floor in my studio and decided today my face felt the least important part of my physicality. Sitting with my face positioned at the back behind my body, not wanting the attention.
