A Millennial Exploration in Daily Self-Portraits

It was 1999, soon to be 2000. How many people get to live across two millennia? This seemed so auspicious that I wanted to do something extraordinary.

A young mom with two toddlers, and an artist desperate to have more time in my studio, I came across an old sketchbook from 1980, a visual diary of daily self-portraits. In it I had drawn my thoughts, moods, ideas and emotions, the way people keep written journals. It seemed the perfect project to redo in 2000; to look within, question old habits, and explore new ways of thinking about something so familiar – my self.
