Dad in 1973 (Apologies to Chuck Close)
2017
900mmW x 900mmH x 20mmD / Acrylic on Canvas

I found my father's old university ID card and was amused by how he looked like an out of work porn star rather than a respected professional he is today. The pose and glasses also reminded me of the painting 'Mark’ (1978-1979) by Chuck Close.
