Pressed Portrait No. 5 - Peaches

PRESSED PORTRAITS

Pressing my painted body against paper, canvas, and fabric, everything begins to crease, crinkle, merge, and smear together.

It's raw. It's real. It's me. No editing and no time for planning. Simultaneously revealing so much and so little, I slowly pull the Pressed Portrait away from my body. The urge to create as I feel the paint peel away and dry with every pressing second, grows significantly. "Make another", I say to myself.
