The finished self portrait series.

These works reference Dollar Sign 9 by Andy Warhol. It’s interesting to me to use the same visual language while altering the meaning and emotional effect through subtraction alone.

Part of “Nothing to See Here”

A Portrait of God

“God is the name of the blanket we throw over mystery to give it shape.”
— Pete Holmes quoting Barry Taylor

It’s very interesting to me that the more I remove, the more the work can begin to function as a symbol rather than an image.

And by obscuring the object almost entirely in this piece, it becomes less about what you see and more about what you believe.

A Self-Portrait of Value 💰

In “Self Portrait No. 5,” the dollar sign is both elevated and reduced to pattern.
The cutout… an illusion. What looks to be a void is entirely hand-painted.
The repetition of the symbol becomes subject, meaning and structure, with a hierarchy emerging through context alone.

Wow, that seems really sophisticated.
You should definitely join us for the opening reception of this solo exhibition:
