Day 8. A Candle Lit Mirror Self-Portrait

Day 8. After yesterday's exploration of not being concerned with the 'physical reality' or the aesthetic outcome, today I went back to my approach of the earlier ones. This time by candle light. I think letting the previous portrait influence the next has so far been a good method of gaining something from these.

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
