OD–4.75–2.00x175OS–5.25–2.25x2

It starts today, although it was lingering on my mind for a bit. Documenting observations and thoughts on here... it is hard not to edit, for what purpose though! It feels almost like doing a self portrait. Laura Cumming suggested that the self portrait might be a truest kind of portrait, even if it idealised or controlled by how the artist wants him/herself perceived. But even the fact of omitting something would tell more about that person than having the thing itself represented. I am not sure as to what time I will be removing my glasses, there is a couple of things i really need to do before I relinquish them on the plinth, like shaving my overgrown beard.
