What Are You?

"What Are You?"

39"x 23"

2014

Colored pencil, vellum, acrylic paint and a hand carved wood frame

Catherine Rahman

Old photos of people with leprosy and other disfiguring skin conditions inspired this piece.  What Are You? Is about being the outsider. But I also want to celebrate its deformity as a thing of beauty. This piece is basically a glamor shot. I hand craved eyes into the frame to symbolize the gaze of the viewer onto the viewed.  It is surrounded by skin flakes, which I created using acrylic paint and vellum.

This piece was inspired by classical paintings of personified seasons. The winter of 2014 was a particularly harsh one. This was an expression of my relief for the coming spring. Even if winter seems to hang around forever eventually it fade and be replaced by the next season.
