Making Faces

I often theorize why I create lots of faces and characters in my art. One thought is they are subconsciously reimagined versions of the suppressed faces I never got to make, in those times I may have needed to express myself but didn’t have the capacity or the courage or was inhibited or denied for any reason. I like to pay attention to these characters and give each an individual personality, the etching and details reveal each to have dimension, but they each coexist as part of a bigger tapestry - intricately woven together in a mural titled “Shape Shifter.” My work is best viewed at large scale.
