Day 7. Exploring Loss of Focus With Candle Light and Mirror. Mirror Self Portrait

Day 7. This turned into a very strange experience. I stared into one eye in the mirror and watched myself and the world shift and move. I aimed to capture these movements without 'drawing' accuracy getting in the way. The result was a portrait that I do not aesthetically like, but the experience was a freeing one that later impacted the following portraits.

Using the mirror self-portrait as a way of seeing more of me. I'm recording the process as a diary, documenting my thoughts immediately after completing each. The emphasis of this series is on the discovery, I have no idea which direction these will go. I will do my best to engage with the process unbounded. www.jacksonswaby.com @jacksonswaby on all social media
