Scratchboard
My body of work explores the paradox of concealment and confession. The concept for the work is that concealment, under fabric, covers the subject’s insecurities. Initially, the veil of fabric grants a confidence to be the subject. In the space of the work, the subject is represented as becoming comfortable enough to confess her form. My artmaking practice included composing reference photos, ensuring specific lighting to highlight all 3D components in order to represent insecurities. Additionally, the medium of scratch art complements my concept as each inerasable scratch holds a sense of finality, confessing my intentions and my subject's insecurities.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Albrecht Dürer, Francisco de Goya, William Blake.
