a year of you
The Unvarnished Self is a durational work.
Nine minimal paintings will live for one year in the private homes of nine individuals, each
occupying a position of significant public trust.
The work asks nothing of them except time.
At the end of the year the works return. They are brought together in a single exhibition,
anonymously. Only the professions of those who held them are noted in a ledger.
The viewer stands before nine quiet presences and the trace of nine private years. In trying
to imagine those years, and finding they cannot, they begin, if they are willing, to look inward
at their own.
They are the tenth.
