Stevie Rae Hope Scanner GIF by Theresa Kneppers

In examining the works of Bomberg, I found myself most interested in the textural quality of the work, which acts as evidence of the process of creating the painting, and of the painters presence within the work. Keeping this in mind, I chose to work with a scanner, creating my own self portraits and scanning as I painted, and also as I removed these paintings from the scanner bed in order to create the next one. I animated some of the painting process, to show how the buildup of paint works to create an image. The paintings created only exist permanently in digital form, as each is wiped away upon completion.
