JILLIAN KATZ WHO?

Immortal Waste

 Current Series in Progress. Designed to be non-archival, these self portraits are done on canvas made of reclaimed plastic bags. 

Plastic brings the series to life: as the paintings age, crack, scratch, and wear, so do we. How they evolve and disintegrate cannot be controlled. Each painting takes months to create, allowing details to emerge on their own time. A portrait is ready to move from the studio to the world once Jillian begins integrating an insight about herself, seeing her reflection more clearly than before.
