SELF series

This series represents an ongoing exploration and examination of the notion of "self". It encompasses as simple an idea as the "inner self" in juxtaposition to the "self" that we present for public consumption to the more subtle ideas of "self" that Zen Buddhism grapples with.

In addition to the work shown here there are many more pieces exploring this theme available through the searchable WORK page which is a comprehensive collection of most Peter Powning's work. The availability of the work is shown on that page as well.
