As part of a portfolio I went into exploring the idea of creating art that confronts its viewer. I wanted to have explicit control over the feelings which would be evoked. The shear size of the piece made it very intimidating. This is a self portrait as well, facing myself like this was a very *ahem* eye opening experience (excuse the pun). I felt very tired of the idea that the viewer is passive and uninvolved in most art they see, this was my own way of rebellion toward art pacifists.
