Portrait of Bill

I made 2 of these log/record portraits in 2005, one was of myself and the other was of my best friend Bill Arning.

I had forgotten about them until recently when they were returned to me from my previous gallery, Derek Eller. I had made them for Derek to show at the Armory art fair but they never shown there.

The self portrait was just sold and installed last weekend, now I have Bill's portrait out in my studio and it's my favorite thing there.

These 2 portraits were made at the same time as the "My Love Life " Installation that I made at the Nierman museum in Kansas City.
