An abstract self portrait
Inspired by the song ‘Mad world’
My translation of Leslie Gustafson I find it hard to take for the Sojie 14 exhibition.
I would like to say a big thank you to Leslie for allowing me to translate her beautiful work.

Leslie’s work was inspired by the song ‘Mad World’ and this also inspired the imagery in my painting.

    Very beautiful work, Sam. The emotions and turmoil of decision is apparent; she seems to blame herself.

  • Thank you Frannie, and thank you for another enjoyable SoJie workshop.
