- The Queen Painting -
oil, acrylic, spray paint & ink on canvas
Queen is quiet dignity and acceptance of the sacrifices required to serve art. I made this painting as a seal to protect the place of giving so that it will not be drained by the force of scarcity.
The Queen Painting unites the threads of my artistic work throughout the year 2022. This canvas was painted on the pavement of the carpark where I made the music film Queensland. The face I wore in that film became OtherFace #23, which now resides in the permanent collection of Pindar Van Arman's Meta Portrait Gallery. I wore The Queen Painting as a dress in the series PAINTED, my first fashion statement in the cryptoart space. Those photographs, as well as The Queen Painting itself are now integrated as training data in my current AI fashion work. Queen is the foundation and the precipice from which my art continues to grow.
I inscribe the divine openness of the Queen into a sovereign contract and offer it to you as an open edition.
