Striped Facades:

Artist Statement: The nude self-portrait is perhaps the most intimate form of art. It delves deep into taboo territory and strips away the traditional barriers between artist and viewer. Witnessing such a private act, we may feel the queasy embarrassment of a voyeur, but we are always compelled to look further. The revealing self-portrait cuts to the core of issues of identity, sexuality, and ego – and as it tells as essential truth about its creator it also tells us something about ourselves.
