#152: The Portraits All Around Us

Look around.  In the gallery, at the station, on the street, in the shop, on the bus or train, in a traffic jam or queue... look around and see the portraits all around you.  

How are people portraying themselves?

In any given moment, how do they look?  

What impressions do they give and how do you see them?  

If you know them, try to imagine you do not, and try to see them with fresh eyes: do you recognise the person you know from a brief glance?

If no one is around, find a mirror and ask the same questions about yourself.

#151: It's MY body

Imagine an artwork to go with this title.

#150: Take What You Need (After Tom Phillips' A Humument)

Edit a book until you have the story you want or need; or until it is yours.

#149: Negative Space, or The art in the space between works of art

Look at the shadow, or shadows, created by a sculpture.  

If it is outside, watch how it moves and changes as the sun moves.  You could return at different times of the year and day.  

How is it different from the work of art, and how is it the same?  Which version of the shadow (if there is more than one) is your favourite?  

How does it work with framed art?  What patterns or shapes are created by the gallery light? 

What else can you find in the space between artworks?

#148: The Greatest Landscape

Reality.

#147: Relief

The sound of a really long piss.

#146: Windows (Self-portrait XIII)

A medium of your choice.

An artwork based on the colours and patterns in your eyes.
