One of the first things I do at the Harvard Art Museums is say hello to my buddy Vincent. This weirdly emerald self portrait has intrigued me since I was a child. Over the years Vincent seems to have just gotten younger as I have aged. My little selfie falls within two different bodies of my work, fitting neither perfectly, but touching on themes of both. The first is a series paintings of iconic artwork being installed by the preparator crew I work with. The second are small still lifes I paint of black objects, typically within a black box.
