exhibition statement
JOANNA CARTER
Self-portraiture dealing with themes of vulnerability & intimacy in examining, for the artist and the viewer.
The images in the mixed media portraits are materialized temporal self-portraits on a bathroom mirror highlighting the vulnerability and intimacy that is present when one peers at their reflection.
The second part of my installation examines the relationship between the self-portrait and the viewer. The same intuitive, quick lines found in the smaller pieces work to centralize the artist as subject matter while the clear glass material of the surface encases the viewer's reflection, creating a constant shift in engagement between self, artist and the work.
