#154: Portraits of Artists as Everyday Objects

A series of portraits of artists represented by an object - the object itself, rather than a picture or a painting of it.  Often the most obvious thing.  For example, LS Lowry is a matchstick, Yoko Ono is a grapefruit and Vincent Van Gogh a sunflower.

Who would you include, and what would represent them?

#007: Self-portrait

A mirror.

On it is written in clear, but unobtrusive, letters:

“Look between the lines, see beyond the words.  

“Look and see yourself at this exact point in time.

“Look into your eyes, look around them.  Take in your face, your mouth, your nose, your cheeks, your hair.

“This is the you you have made.


“Look beyond your skin to the experiences within.  

“Every moment you have lived has led to this person looking into this mirror.

“Think of all the people you have been, who have stood here before.  Think back to all the events and people who have brought you to now, that have made you this person.


“Look beyond yourself now and away from yourself before.

“Where would you like to go?  Think ahead and about what you might need to do to shape your ideal portrait of the future.


“Repeat, frequently or infrequently.  Reflect and return.

“Here, or at home.”
