Self-portrait June 2 2005 #6,018
My Aanschouw show is my first one since graduation in the country where I was born. I've been working as an artist in Houston (Texas) America since 2000. My work consists mostly of an ongoing self-portrait series that I shoot while singing and dancing with my camera. During my very experimental process my musical muses (Tori Amos and Alanis Morissette among others) touch my inner urge to move and lure my emotions to the surface, take me into the world in which I bathe myself in waves of sound and where my images are born. Since I have a camera with a monitor that I can flip out towards me, I can see the results right away and react to it; for example if the image is too blurry I will move slower or when too in focus for my taste I will move faster. The piece I created for this exhibit is part of the self-portrait series but I restricted myself to using the three colors of the flag.
