① Artwork:
Self-portrait with a Flower
This painting captures the artist’s shadow and was inspired by the earnest self-portraiture common among developing art students. The work is also an homage to Kora of Sicyon, notable within Pliny the Elder’s origin myths about representation, as one of the earliest recorded female artists. In Pliny’s story, Kora traces her lover’s likeness from his shadow upon a wall, so that she may keep his image near when he heads off to war.
Juliet Jacobson makes art about the act of looking and the experience of recognition. Her work draws on visual experience as conditioned by the history of visual images and literary invocations of art and representation, ranging from puns to mythology.
