When I made ‘Sleeper’, 2012 I was thinking of how it feels to lie opposite someone, looking at them sleeping: how their shut-eyes and facial expression mean their body is with you but their mind is not. I wanted this painting to have something about watching a person have a relationship with themselves: their life in their mind. This painting is not of anyone specific but the sensation of looking in that situation.
