Carolin Prinn, Portrait of Laura Walker, graphite on arches aquarelle, 440 x 570 mm.
I have continued my exploration of portraiture as part of my body of work. It is a way to reach the core individual, of people I have met from around the world and after all, my experience of any place is so dependent on the people. I think my love of this kind of work resulted from my residence in France, where I focused on a series creating 'A Sense of Place', and did this through fleeting portraits of people I met as I travelled. Part documentation, part exploration into the human psyche. Although I do some work from a distance, I always appreciate interaction with the sitter of some sort, interested in hearing about their experience and transferring that through my own vision.
