The Somnambulist series is meant to be accompanied by written pieces, but I’m not ready to share them just yet (if ever). It is the obsessive telling and retelling of a story—a true story—caught somewhere between memory and dream, reality and illusion. Somnambulist is a ghost story.

‘Self Portrait’ 2018
Chalk, charcoal, and water on paper 36”x 212”
I was asked to make a self portrait using the geometry of the Vitruvian Man. Rather than box myself in, I chose to take up as much space as I could.
The measurements are based entirely on measurements of my body. The dimensions of the image, 212” were taken from my arm span. Imagine the arm span as the diameter of a circle, the circle being the space can take up at any given time.
Diameter x 3.14… = circumference. Make that a line.
