Reveal & Conceal: reveal in code, conceal the truth. Reveal in truth, conceal the code.

Description: The reveal and conceal idea is based on the notion that as artists we have to decide how much of ourselves we have to show. We can't provide the viewer with only the surface. I show this idea using a diptych format to emphasize the polarity. Also by using black and white I reintroduce our open side with our dark, secretive side. I used paint as well as charcoal and white pastel. The panels came from someone's garbage extending the idea of painting on whatever I find in my studio beyond its boundaries. The subtitle 'Art Glutton' came to me when I looked around my studio and saw all these self portraits and I thought I have been ingesting myself.
