as we grow we all go through changes...from baby to young girl to young woman to....now. these changes are reflected by not just appearance, but by intangibles that are within us.......we take ourself with us as we grow (both the good and not so good), but hopefully we can also modify, add, enhance aspects of our self to fit the (growing) time and life we are living.
i am looking at myself.....the various "me"....a portrait within a portrait.
the (large) "me" is smiling.........i am happy with whom i am.....i will continue to grow and change i am sure......but......i am quite pleased with how i have nurtured myself.

Jennifer: This is wonderful, fun and awe-inspiring - from outside to within - for me. Outside is the art - within is the spirit. We should all do this - if we could that is. I love it!!!! It's inspirational and so positive! Hugs to you!

Wonderful piece. love the carpet tacks

Very Nice Work!

This is really special.

The question of the "illusion of the self-consciousness" posed in a unique and brilliant way...I like the (intentionally IMO) "simple" words in your description...they denote a much deeper understanding of this subject,I think...

i also enjoy this narrative work. one tires of "pretty" images. art is evolving. i want to see new ideas!
