This piece was for a self-portrait assignment. The concept isn't actually about thinking of myself as a target. You'd think I would've noticed that it could've been read that way before going ahead and painting it, but that might not have stopped me anyway.
This painting actually deals with imagery from my childhood that I associate with my father. The concept is about identity and how I have to reconcile the parts of my father that are also parts of myself.
I'm rather stubborn, so even though we painted on canvas for this class, I used watercolors. It actually had some positives (like being really easy to wipe off) and created some interesting textures. Unfortunately, the photo picked up some glare.
