Another element of destruction I have decided to look at is the idea of the self portrait. This concept has been used throughout the years within art, and as a topic, it is something I have covered a decent amount throughout my practise.
I have taken photos that I chose to print off 3 years ago, when I first moved to University. They are images from my past I am fond of, containing friends of mine I am still close to, and some that I am not. The content of the photos is fairly irrelevant and random. The only constant within them all, is that they hold a photograph of me.
In this sketchbook I am experimenting and looking at ways in which I can destroy these photographs, but keeping the image of me visible and central. I have also looked at different, more abstract ways of drawing. I'm unsure where I am going with this, but as a beginning point I am fairly happy with the way they are turning out.
