Siena

I really surprised myself when I started working with umbrellas again (I have to admit that there was a teaspoon of cheekiness involved). However, the more I thought about it, the more fitting an umbrella is to my personality. I ended up making a self portrait with photos I developed photo copy transferred to canvas which was then sewn into an umbrella (harder than you might think). It's one of my best self portraits to date.

My later interest in webs and starry skies actually made a frightening amount of sense in conjunction with the umbrellas. I would like to keep working with them.
