Two things lead to me realising what it was I needed to do. One thing was the comments Alicia recieved about her contribution to my Labyrinth book. The pages were so very nest like and everyone kept saying- "That is sooo Lisa!" They were right of course!
The second thing was Seth questions and answers for his artists call out. When I answered them I realised that my art dosn't just reflect what I like, as in birds and nests and recycled things, it also reflects who I am.
I'm so very pleased with this self discovery! (And that's all I am saying about that for now...)
I'm also only revealing a peek of what I have done for Dale's exhibition which opens at the start of December...I'll post the full piece on my blog then.
This piece is due next week, I started 3 nights ago! Talk about cutting it fine!
After I created this I realised that it wasn't actually the first time I have attempted a self portrait in this way...
Self portait in 2008. How things have changed! You can see the original post with my thoughts and your comments here.

love your self portrait Lisa! in a way all the work we do is a self portrait isn't it? xx's
great legs
Wow hasn't your style evolved over the timeframe Lisa! I love both though. I can't wait to see what you have done, I also struggle with the self portrait themes. I seem to find me the hardest of all to define for some reason! Can't wait to see hwat you have created but I'm so lovin that wonderful wire you have there and all those wee stitches and fabrics!
This is just marvellous, Lisa!!!The colours are splendid and it is very you! Am I too late to submit? I hadn't heard of this call for submissions. I'll have to pop oin over and have a looksie!!
I submitted my self portrait to Dale yesterday.. and you are absolutely right-- a self portrait does not have to have your face in it to get the essence of who you are.
Peek-a-boo! I see you!
I agree with Cat. Most of the work we do is a self portrait. Love the peek for Dale's exhibition!
