"Where are we going as a species?" is the question at the core of my work as I turn to the past to foresee where we are going in the future. I use paintings from the humanist period to create works in an era that has been identified as post-humanist. My work consists in projecting a portrait onto a live model and then photographing this encounter. In an alchemic process, the model and the iconic figure transubstantiate for a moment to become the other. Both the model and the figure painted become are being transformed, such that they both lose some aspect of their identity in the process. This work is at the crossroads of painting and photography, where the images are multi-layered both in the processes and in their interpretations.
