DREAMS & DREAM PORTRAITS
Dreams can give an interesting impulse to draw a self portrait with sometimes unusual results. Especially when I saw myself in a dream in a strange and remarkable way, I had the urge to draw it. Each time my self conception was touched and irritated by what I saw in the dream. These portraits showed me that dreams not only repeat the known but compose the unknown and in doing so they expand and alter experiences and consciousness. Horror can be a side effect ;-) |

Cut Off Nose 1/26/04
I examined the face of the other guy. One could see into the inside of the nose because there was a big hole between the eyes. While breathing in and out the gap opened and closed rhythmically. |
