Uggh, not HER again

The positive and negative thing about living on a remote island of relentless isolation is the relentless isolation. Since I tape together photo compilations as the basis for my paintings this inevitably leads to me relying on a lot of photos of myself. To correct the poses of others.

But then on mornings like today I walk into my studio, look around, and just think, “uggh, not HER again.”
