Stanley--Deconstructive Self-portrait

Caroline Stanley
Deconstructive Self-portrait

            In this self-portrait I deconstructed my personal narrative. The four parts are what defines me in both others and my opinion. I chose to depict my relationship with my mom gaining inspiration from a phone call I had with her. I used my dyslexia as another source of inspiration. In the other two, I depicted a piece of jewelry I wear all the time and dependability, which represents my personality. I used oil paints on Masonite using palate knives and some brush work. In terms of deconstruction, I wanted to choose aspects of myself that are more narrow and broad. As of now there are two more abstract and more realistic paintings. I think it would strengthen the set if they were all one or the other.
