My work is a spin-off idea of the paintings that Eric Fischl creates. Fischl was is an interesting person because he is a painter who paints with photographic reference. I wanted to flip this process and photograph with a painter's reference, so instead of painting in a traditional way, I used light painting. I took candid photos in which I performed various tasks/positions, and used the light to trace a figure around my body. Since these images were long exposure, I was able to abstract myself for the most part so that the focus would be on the light figure (like a figure painting).
