The Shakespeare Project

Based on the plays of William Shakespeare, this series attempts to translate Shakespeare's dramatic storytelling devices
into visual storytelling devices. By using myself as the model for each figure, the series also parallels
Shakespeare's exploration of identity, gender, and disguise; on both a practical and thematic level. 

Many of these paintings are still in progress.
