I printed out the photographs for my first two degree show paintings today. the paintings are going to be 17 inches square, they are of my friends with a sky blue background behind them. They are going to be light and bright and full of life and energy, but then inbetween them are going to be these small (7inches or so) paintings of skulls, or parts of skulls reflected in mirrors, so they will be a juxtaposition there, a slight tension, between these images that are bursting with vitality, and then these momento mori paintings. reminders of death. but subtle.
