In my recent self-portraits, I'm exploring who I am and how to express that through the people, spaces, and drawing techniques I choose. Here, I bring a self-portrait and an imaginary friend together in a bedroom interior. The two figures are close together, but they look in different directions. I suppose that means something about the difference in my imagination and realities. A large, ornate mirror adds another view into the room a symbol of introspection and self examination.

The crayon marks remain visible throughout the drawing. I’m using the marks to suggest the directions of the planes and create visual interest. Short, overlapping strokes build the back and shoulders, while longer horizontal marks describe the wall. Darker passages sit beside areas where the paper is left light. You can follow the individual marks up close and see them come together as bodies, fabric, and space from farther away.
