It was an honor and pleasure to participate in the Fabulous Forgeries: Reboot! exhibition at the Virginia Beach Art Center in February. We were tasked with re-creating a master work with a twist.
I chose M.C. Escher. He created a drawn portrait of his wife that was inspired by the novel, The Invisible Man, and–of all things–an orange peel. He titled it “Rind.”
I recreated this portrait in paper from a book of Escher’s art. It won an honorable mention in the exhibition.
