Portrait of a Lady and a Few Good Men.

A study in line, perception and dual presence.

These portraits are drawn in continuous metal wire. The line moves freely through space, overlapping and folding into itself, suggesting a face without fully defining it.

After seeing Francesco Clemente's drawings in the 90s adaptation of Great Expectations, I felt an urgency to draw with that same freedom. But I can't.

So I began creating my own visual language. Wire became my pencil. Space became my paper. Light completes the work. The wire casts a shadow that forms a second image. Each portrait therefore exists twice: as physical structure and as projection. The shadow is not secondary. It is an equal presence. As the light shifts or the elements are repositioned, the faces transform. The work remains open. A line never entirely settles.
