Heather/Fiona. I see what you mean. It was one of a series I made after seeing a BBC prog. about the self portrait. I walked around waving my 'phone camera around and pressing the shutter randomly. It was a very bright, sunny day so the shadows are very strong on that picture, emphasised by the use of those mediums.
Now I could perhaps be accused of chickening out here but I've searched and searched for the nude selfie (which also came from watching the same programme which included Lucien Freud's nude self portraits and I wondered what it would be like to try that), but I can't find it anywhere.
Alan I would like to see a larger version of the drawing you use for your profile (I will not mis-use that ubiquitous a-word). It has an energy that appeals.
