Through this process, I’m exploring how we can push the concept of self to its limit by obscuring it through multiple processes,” she says.įor her last series of self-portraits, Parker Lily employed a combination of polaroid photography and photo emulsion. “These paintings are the remnants of four different stages of representation: the physical moment when I modeled the photograph of myself the AI-generated portrait and the painted self portrait. She painted elements like hair, textures, and doll-like features, freely incorporating whatever imagery the digitized prints evoked for her. Parker Lily then created a series of acrylic paintings based on these AI-generated portraits. The resulting false selves bear no resemblance to an identifiable person, but nonetheless constitute self-portraits. She adjusted the settings so the software would interpret her likeness incorrectly, as a piece of earth, fire, and a young child. Her first series, You Can’t See Me, is a collection of striking abstract portraits she created by taking photographs of herself and running them through an AI generator. In preparation for her project, she extensively researched Piper’s work as well as that of other portrait artists, including Francesca Woodman, Claude Cahun, and Frida Kahlo. Parker Lily’s summer project entitled Eye of the Beholder: Interrogating Identity, Audience, and the Painted Self Portrait, consists of a series of paintings, photographs, and digital creations that explore the mutability and subjectivity of the self. This summer, I wanted to explore the concept of identity formation through the act of seeing and being seen.” ![]() “It inextricably informs the way we feel about ourselves and how we move through the world. “How we are seen and treated by others completes a conception of oneself,” explains Parker Lily. Piper posits that identity involves two parts: a self that is embodied by the individual and a self that is completed by being viewed by another. She dressed in drag stuffed a towel in her mouth and rode the subway visited an art gallery wearing a blindfold and walked down the street wearing a sign that read “Wet Paint.” Piper would dramatically alter her appearance and enter public spaces in New York City. Parker Lily was inspired by the work of artist and philosopher Adrian Piper whose public performances in the 1970s challenged social expectations around identity, race, and gender. As a 2022 Summer Scholar, she conducted research on portraiture and created a series of haunting self-portraits using traditional mediums and new artificial intelligence (AI) technology. SMFA student Parker Lily Tuson-Morse, BFA '23, has spent the summer exploring themes of identity, false selves, and the body as a medium for art.

So please, call for an appointment for us to look at your books, or bring your books to the shop. We are happy to make a cash offer for books we want to buy, or offer more in trade credit, and on occasion, if the seller prefers and the value warrants, to offer a consignment arrangement. We prefer scholarly books, beautiful books (recognizing that beauty is often in the eye of the beholder!), original editions of important books, and books, pamphlets and paper (ephemera) which are just plain out of the ordinary. ![]() In general, we don't buy book club editions, new fiction, encyclopedias, textbooks, most current affairs/political books, books printed by magazines - Horizon, Southern Living, Newsweek, Time/Life, etc. We are not specialist dealers, so there are many areas that are of interest to us. Like most used and rare shops, we simply don't have room to house copies of the most common books (nor do we have a strong market for selling them). We happily make "house calls" for larger collections and are more than willing to travel to look at a significant collection of books. We are always interested in making an offer to buy a good book or a collection of good books from individuals, estates or institutions.
