Kate Weakley

I love this image intensely and could not for the life of me, find the artist’s name or any other of her work. Her original Tumblr no longer tumbles and Tineye.com just pointed me to old reddit archives with no real content, but the mighty google machine saved me.

“Self-Portrait”, oil on board, 20″x16″

Kate is a transgender and from her original post that has since been reblogged across the tumblr-sphere she says this:

I’m a transgender artist. This piece is titled “Self-Portrait” because both figures are me. The figures on the left is me before my transition and the figure on the right is me about 5 months into my transition.

This image is glitched, which I love, but the what draws me to it the most is the fracturing of the face, with details transposed into other areas. Amazing.

Kate has other pieces available on her Tumblr, and her SVA Portfolio. According to LinkedIn, she is still a student, so I am looking forward to what she produces next.
